Having it hard wired is how most of the ones I've seen are done.
There is no code reqt for a cord and plug, so I'd say that's
unnecessary and a waste of money.

It is probably how he is providing the required disconnect.

He said it's currently wired to a switch. *Provided the switch is
within direct view from the pump and only a short distance
away, doesn't that meet the reqt for a disconnect? *If the
switch isn't within view of the pump and close by, then I
agree the plug could be a way to meet that reqt.

The switch is about a foot from the pump and within direct view. But
there is a second switch up at the pool deck, within earshot but not
eyeshot of the pump.
