I can think of one reasonable reason for it. They'd be harder to identify between the two versions. It makes some sense to not change the look that much (or the actor if that was the plan) to not confuse the audience.

Makes sense. Sucks it never happened though because that would have been a cool idea.

Also have to pay and credit two actors for one role, which might get sticky, especially with awards.

I mean you credit them as 2 different roles, Switch (In-Matrix) and Switch (IRL). Happens all the time for different ages of the same characters being portrayed by younger and older actors.
