LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1: Purpose of Murata switch in this design

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1


Apologies, as this will likely be obvious to people more experienced than I, but  what is  the purpose of the Murata switch is in the CC1352 launchpad design is? Why not use a dual band antenna and baluns for each path directly?  Or two antennas before the switch, even?

Also, I read in another thread that an IPC balun is being worked on to support both frequencies. Is there an approximate eta for it?
