Because free switches are supposed to be used to make normally "impossible" matches, such as bringing a striped candy close to a color bomb (or just any special candy to another), or switching a hopelessly stuck ingredient somewhere else manageable.

If a match can be made without using a free switch, using one might be counted as a waste, which most Candy Crush players wouldn't consider. In other words, they are better used somewhere else instead of using it as a free move. If you are really down to just one move away when you reached zero moves, you are better off starting a new one and try again when it comes to candy order.
