First of all i would like to thank you for this plugin 🙏

If a property like "vacuum-extend:carpet-press" has 2 values "0 : Open and 1: Close", why should it be 2 switches in Home App one for each value? Isn't it more logical to have one Switch that value 0 will show an open switch and with pressing the switch it will change the value to 1 and show it in Home App? It might be I'm missing something here.

The switches are auto generated based on the property type. Boolean type properties will always be single switch as we can assume they will only have two values. Value list type properties will always create a single switch for every value.
So in the case of your property the manufacturer decided to make it a value list type property even that it only has two values, hence you are seeing two switches. In theory it would be possible to extend the logic to detect that, but it would require some work...
