These switches remove power on one pin for trouble shooting purposes.
One should NEVER attempt a hot swap on PCIE slots.
The device in the slot will not work after post by just turing the switch back on. It has to go through the post process with the device installed and PCIE power on to be recognized. Thats all part of why positng in a destop take some time.
The TS process is to turn off slots and boot up simply to save time from having to remove them entirely. Any change in the state of the switches should be done with the machine powered down and PSU off.

Can you please point me to anything that says any PCIE device is hot swappable? Every single board manufactuere Ive ever read the manuals for 100% of the time say it many times over to power the system down prior to inserting or removing anything from the PCIE slots. SATA, some do support hot swap but not PCIE.
An OS doesnt power anything......
There is a huge difference between inserting someting to or removing from a live active bus and measuring voltage test points that are isolated.

With the being said there are but two things possible.
5V+ is being switched which is a poor design
DC common is being switched.

Manufacturers dont push this practice simply to warn the faint of heart. They push it for two reason. One, it is likley to cause irreparable damage, the other is its a moot point as any thing in the PCIE slot must be in place at the time of post to be scanned by the UEFI and offered up for use by the OS.
