If the proposal is rejected on this basis, I would like to revise it
from "introducing an option to change the behavior of switch-to-buffer"
to "changing the behavior of switch-to-buffer".

It is extremely unlikely for someone to know what their last non-visible
buffer is, especially after accounting for other frames and windows.
People are better off typing the name of the buffer they want to visit.
Compared to that, switching to the last buffer is considerably more
manageable and useful.
