They're like that in this apartment we're renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don't get it.

Yeah that happens sometimes, although there is a possibility that a previous owner added a switch after the fact, and had to install a larger box. Some guys will screw a nail-on box to the original mounting stud, but it's just as easy to add an old work box (the ones with the mounting wings) and call it a day.
