The keyword break is compulsory in switch statement because switch statement is not fulfil without break. The syntax of switch statement contains break so if we are not write the break in switch statement then syntax must be wrong.
I think we should consider this.

Its optional in the sense that it is allowed in the language to skip break statement and compiler will not raise an error.

Including break in action block in order to exit from the switch statement. If you don't use a break statement, the program will just continue into the next case block.

In some cases it is optional and in some cases it is compulsory. If we use break statement where the condition is true then the next conditions will not execute.

I think if we do not use a break statement the code will be executed and compiler not gives error but the output will never be understandable by the user.

I think if we not write keyword after each case then all cases starting from first to last will execute, main thing is compiler not gives error, it is logical error.
