I think that might be the underlying… misattribution(?).

Almost no macOS screens have ever worked like that. Their interface guidelines have always recommended against it.

> ...all changes that a user enters in a dialog box should appear to take effect immediately whenever possible. — macOS 9 guidelines: http://interface.free.fr/Archives/Apple_HIGuidelines.pdf

Following Apple’s sensibilities will get you both toggle switches and instant changes, though I’m not sure there's a connection within any single interface.
