Can this screwdriver be used to open switch

"Switch" - no. For Switch you need something like this. Shape is called Triwing or "Y".
The description states Triwing which would be a Y-shape. But the title says + shape. So a little deceptive.
I think it might be the right screwdriver, but that they are messing up with the title.

Im pretty sure that description doesn't mention triwing at all...

That's a cross-head screwdriver, you'd need a tri-wing one with a 'Y' shape.
Also don't get a cheap screwdriver like those. Spend a bit more to get a proper one.
Over the years Im pretty sure Ive only had less than 3 of these work properly without just causing a bigger issue or headache. The metal is either too soft and the screwdriver rounds instantly, or its cut poorly and won't properly "bite" your screw and just strip the head off of that.

Not really in the description part, but in a "short overview" it does say Tri Wing.
So who knows what will you get if you buy that screwdriver (probably the Philips one).
I second that as I've learned it the hard way myself. Took me an hour or so to remove the stripped screw from one of the joy-cons I've fixed.

Or even better, buy a screwdriver with replaceable bits.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
