Or a different “feel” when turned on vs. off (more resistance or something). They spent effort printing all that text to show where the switch was when a universal 0/1 would have made it clear.
I can’t think of any example of a button or switch that by itself can be clear if it is engaged or not. A button could be assumed to be on if in, but that isn’t always the case, like for example with emergency stops.

The power button on my PC lights up when it is on. I have a start/cancel processing button with which I use different colour-schemes - it’s a blue or green button/text for “start processing” and a red button/text for “cancel processing” (i.e. danger - this has consequences if you press it!).
