I guess they are useful if you need to inactivate for a long period of time, not for on/off as daily use. I understand they are hardware-based.Details of the what the switches do are in the wiki, as are the schematics which show exactly what's connected to what. It's operating either on power supply or on the chip's power control pin. The modem needs to be shut down correctly to avoid the risk of filesystem corruption according to Quectel's docs - the os does this during shutdown - so it's safest to switch the modem one when the phone is powered off.
