Cause they worked for me. The switch is just a rocker that makes electrical contact, doesn't affect the ribbon cable or the motor speed. You either have electrical contact/continuity, or you don't.

What is a switch worth anyway?? $10 bucks?? (cant be much more if it is, only cost me $31 Australian) Certainly cant hurt to try it for the sake of $10 bucks can it.

Actually that's a good point, I didn't think of.
The dc window motors, in 85 at least are powered directly through the switch. Not sure when they upgraded to relays.
