I can't imagine any situation where that wouldn't be a good idea.

680.26(B)(5) Only requires metal equipment Within 5 ft horizontally of the inside walls of the pool to be bonded, But as said not a bad idea.

680.26(B)(5) Metal Wiring Methods and Equipment . Metal-sheathed cables and raceways, metal piping, and all fixed metal parts except those separated from the pool by a permanent barrier shall be bonded that are within the following distances of the pool:
(1) Within 1.5 m (5 ft) horizontally of the inside walls of the pool (2) Within 3.7 m (12 ft) measured vertically above the maximum water level of the pool, or any observation stands, towers, or platforms, or any diving structures

I Believe 680.43 D-2 metal parts of electrical equipment associated with the spa or hot tub water circulating system, including the pump motor, what do you think

the switch is not part of the circulating system, the switch does not circulate water, the motors do that.
