Has anybody pointed out that breakers are designed to be ON most of
the time, and once in a while kick OFF? and Switches are designed to
be turned ON or OFF a lot? Simple thought process suggests that
abusing a breaker to use it as a switch is going to have some long
term, unexpected consequence. Like not turn ON when you want, or not
kick OFF when you want.

I've seen plenty of businesses that use the breakers to turn things on/off
at the ends of the day.

You will see lots of things done, but that does not make it correct.

There are some breakers that are also designed to be used as switches an can
be cycled off and on many times with out a problem.
