Why it is there I understand. But using a UI element to switch between two states that only shows one of those, exchanges the option it shows at the same place and is normally used to indicate on/off states is a bad choice. It would make semi sense if left was "white", right was "orange" and switching the toggle to each side chooses what it says on that side.
