Um, it can actually save a lot of type and errors.

having two places to change is very error prone.

if (cond) { }
switch(cond)

If the condition is complex and one forgets it is the same 
condition then only changing one block will cause bugs.

It is not a hard feature to have AND it is worth it because it is 
a near zero complex compiler implementation.

So, depending on how you define "not worth it", which I take "I'm 
too lazy to implement it", you could be correct.
