I play with my ears, not my eyes. I don't have to look at the switch to know what position it is in. I have been playing these guitars since 1988, all with a rotary. Live and in the studio, and they are more than functional. They are reliable and consistent. Every position clicks into place as needed and doesn't accidently get bumped into another position during a performance or session.
I understand that the switches have undergone some changes since the 80's , but, the feel and tones are still there.
I'm thinking that a lot of current PRS players came from another brand that had traditional switching options, so the rotary is foreign and scary to them. I adopted PRS as my brand early on, while having Strats and Les Pauls in my harem. PRS just felt "right" and so, I got rid of the others and started my collection.
