And they choose 25 Gbit/s because the switches for it where only slightly more expensive than the 10 Gbit/s version would have been. They did a talk about it some time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmJCzMeIBo

25 Gb/s is available with PON now (>2021). See IEEE Std 802.3ca-2020, 25GS-PON/G.9804.

True but the "state owned ISP" in Switzerland only has XGS-PON hardware. So Init7 could only provide 25Gbit/s in the parts of the network thats not PON.
