Not really. A toggle is inspired by (and associated with) real-life knobs. When you imagine the manual gears in old cars, then when you move then knob it often moves non-linear in terms of visuals (because of the angle).

That being said, those toggles are imho the wrong choice. Checkboxes (that actually have a check-mark) are nicer because they show a clear "yes" and "no" so I don't have to guess which position means what when it comes to a toggle.
