Well, it is simple: Switches are no security device. They have a long hiistory of beeing exploitable, their complete design is optimized for communication, not separation. This is clearly a reason to be very careful when you actually use a VLAN Switch for separating communication. Evey bug in a switch is a possible argument against using VLAN and pro using physical separation. Still a air gap is th best firewall.
