That's just why they have it. Otherwise the batter would switch, the pitcher would switch, the batter would switch, the pitcher would switch, .... and the game would be a stalemate.
OBR: Each can switch once. It's in NAPBL, if not elsewhere.
NCAA and FED: Pitcher must declare. No restrictions on the batter.
