I have a related question:
Why did LEGO add a permanent post to the new switch? The old polarity switch
could turn 360 degrees if you didn’t add a post, but the new one only turns
as far as its built-in post allows.
I will grant that I’ve never actually needed to turn the old switches 360
degrees, but the option was at least there.

I’ve gotta agree with that question: I loved the fact that the old one can turn
360 degrees and have used that option to make it do some fun and screwy things.
In fact, you can use it like one of those mechanical timer outlet things, like
one you might use for outdoor Christmas lights, when it rotates all the way
around.
With the requirement that the new one goes back and forth, some of the
functionality has been removed with, to me, no apparent benefit. Bummer. Is
there a benefit that I do not see?
