Was not what you shown (Command-Tab switching) what the window handler
on OS X does? If so then trying to interfere with that is probably a
bad idea (and is prevented actively by at least w32).

Of course internal Emacs frame switching must be handled in Emacs. I
have personally never used any command inside Emacs for frame
switching, but I can see such needs. (One of those is for example
letting C-x 5 0 show the next Emacs frame instead of what the window
manager chooses if a window manager command is used to close the
frame.)
