Blackjack dealer switch: why would anyone take this option

Every time I see someone at the table take the dealer switch option, I gotta wonder what’s running through their head. You’re sitting with a stiff 14 and the dealer has a 6 up - switching dealer is basically just throwing away your edge, right? Why give up a decent situation just because you caught a cold shoe or something felt off? I get being superstitious but this just seems like next-level tilt. The math never checks out for me on this move.

Is there some angle I’m not seeing here? Like, is there ever a legit statistical reason to use the dealer switch, or is it always just a gut feeling thing for people who want a fresh start? Would love to hear if anyone actually tracked results doing this, or is it just classic gambler’s logic at work?
