Helpful Expert Reply:
I'm not certain, but If I had to guess it'd probably come down to cost. It's probably more cost effective for the manufacturer to buy push button switches that are pre-wired rather than rocker switches.
With that said, the push button switch like # DG52452VP is just a 12v on/off switch, so you could totally swap it with a rocker switch like the Single Rocker Switch # 37212595.
If you wanted to go a step further I recommend pairing that with the Single RV Switch Faceplate # 37212855 for a nice clean finish.
