The glock switch is an issue like the bump stock. Lots of people interested in guns wouldn't take one for free, but expanding the scope of government power to make the sphere of allowed actions smaller ends up making everyone a bit smaller.

Bumpfire stocks simulate the rate of full auto firing by assisting the shooter in pulling the trigger very rapidly, but the trigger is pulled separately for each shot, in compliance with the law.
Glock switches convert the pistol to true full auto fire. Doing that, without PRIOR Federal approval and licenses has been a crime since 1934. Not the same thing as bump stocks, at all.

Emphasis added.
You may see bump stocks and clock switches as more than a minor niche in the general market. I see the appeal as petty limited just because the trait it introduces, a high rate of fire or a simulation of a high rate of fire, isn't desirable for most applications.
