The next question would be:

If the closet lights were (possibly) controlled by that switch in the
past, how did they rewire them to be "always on" and thus controlled by
the pull chain?

Wirenut the two wires together in the switch box.....
That's simple enough.

Have you ever opened the switch box to see how it's wired or traced the
wires to see where they go?

Yep, that's the way to do it.
Shut off the breaker for that circuit. Apply a meter to the wires on
the OHM scale. Extend the other wire with a piece of any kind of wire
and touch it to other things that went off.
