Like `switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window' has the option `pop',
another customizable variable could provide a similar non-default
option that will call pop-to-buffer-same-window from switch-to-buffer.

Or maybe simpler to create a new command e.g. switch-to-buffer-same-window
based on switch-to-buffer-other-window?
