https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/switch - hasnt it had this forever? Or are you refering to something else?

Pretty sure they meant match as in pattern matching, not switch as in switch/case/break.

You can see the proposal here: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching

they also said switch expressions, which indicates they want the switch statement to be settable directly to a variable with whatever the return type of the switch is.

Match already returns the value which can be thrown into a variable.
