I see no reason for them to not do some QoL improvement to make swapping more fluid like SGE's Kardion outside being an oversight. Being a DNC sometimes in DF contents or helping filling up DPS slots in friend's static I will always swap partner around to who I consider the best performer or temporarily if my old partner died getting that weakness/BoD for a time being.
you are correct , as soon as you end the partner stance your previous dnc partner gets stripped off standard finish buff and esp buff as well
a good QoL for it would be nice , a fluid way of switching partner would be really comfy and no one is against it except mr "devs know better"
