Many enterprise grade switches from Cisco to Juniper switches are running on Linux. That also is the case with prosumer hardware such as Ubiquiti, Mikrotik (CRS line), Aruba, etc...

indeed, it would be. Turns out there are people seriously thinking about this (nothing concrete yet). Note that, while not a switch, we have a reference design for a firewall which we’re in the process of turning into a community project for adding missing functionality.
