Very possible a switch that a previous owner added Take a look at the wiring for that switch and see if you can trace it out

Maybe for a light bar or fog lights

My 06 expedition had a similar switch in about that location, but I think it was on the other side. It was installed to allow the aftermarket radio / head unit to play dvds when the car was not in park.

Are there any additional lights on the Expy? Like up front or in the rear ? Or do you see wiring in those areas that don't look factory ? Some people might add additional back up lights in the rear for better visibility or up front for same. Have you flipped it on and off at night or while driving? But it's definitely an owner add-on switch.

If you are talking about the one with the shoe on it, its for raising and lowering your brake peddle for fitting long and short legged people.

And for these 3valve engines it can be used as the kick starter to get them running again.

if you are talking about the one with the foot, it is to adjust the pedals either up or down for the memory of either driver 1 or 2

I think the question is regarding to the little round switch closest to the steering column. It does look like a factory switch, but I don't think it is. It does look like a switch used for aftermarket fog lights, back up lights, or a light bar perhaps.

That is almost definitely for sure possibly an aftermarket kit switch of some sort. Air shocks? Plasma-rectifying doo-hickey?
