It's both less and more readable.
Its less readable in that its implicit in the code, rather than
explicit. But its probably the case that the exception thrown
implicitly will be more informative to the user than the hand-written
one, which is usually:
default: throw new AssertionError("can't get here");
Which is less readable for the poor fellow who had to debug it.
