That's what I thought too.

But then 'display-buffer-in-previous-window' would have to navigate a
tree and I would like to not make it too complicated because it may
have to consider "some" windows as possible candidates.
'switch-to-prev-buffer' OTOH has only one candidate window and can be
made a bit more complicated, if necessary.
