What Hacker News says?
There is a significant difference between checkboxes and toggles. Checkboxes expect a secondary submit step, whereas toggles have instant effect. https://blog.uxtweak.com/checkbox-vs-toggle-switch/ explains this better. Especially the pizza toppings example, that obviously make no sense with toggles.
