As a designer, this is 100% correct. I blame Apple and iOS for using toggles/switches instead of checkboxes. And I blame all the people out there who blindly follow whatever Apple does for continuing the trend.
As someone else in this thread mentioned, checkboxes are more of yes or no, and usually have a save button to confirm the setting. Whereas toggles are meant to be on or off with immediate effect.
It's so frustrating to have to spend so much time and energy arguing this. I've even worked at a place where an entire feature of yes/no settings to which the user must agree was named "toggles" because of all the toggles in that flow, even though they're supposed to be checkboxes.
The old adage of no one ever got fired for buying IBM could be replaced by no one ever got fired for copying Apple. It's hard pushing back against that kind of momentum
