Answer
Switch expressions eliminate fall-through errors.
Traditional switch statements require careful use of break to prevent unintentional fall-through. Switch expressions eliminate this risk by using arrow syntax, which doesn't allow fall-through. This reduces the likelihood of bugs, especially in complex logic like handling checkout status in an e-commerce system.
