Having both switch and if/elif allows writing code with less redundancy in it (unnecessary keywords and variables can be elided by choosing one selection construct over the other).

When you say "less redundancy", do you just mean terser code? Or what exactly?

I don't see any DRY trade-offs, unless you're talking on a really micro character-count / code-golf level.
