What's wrong with using switch-to-buffer?

If you could elaborate a bit more on what bugs you are referring to when
you say

then maybe we could come up with a way to issue the warning more
selectively.  Because AFAICT the usage in unbury-buffer, and probably
many other places in Emacs, is completely correct, and I agree with
Glenn that issuing a zillion warnings for this not satisfactory.
