I don't know. I suppose it is possible given the numbers of cards being handled daily by these grading companies. Ultimately, for the buyer, it comes down to purchasing the card and not the holder, which is what we see happening more and more in our hobby. If this is really happening, then yes, the numbers of higher graded cards is artificially being inflated, causing a perception perhaps that there is less scarcity then truly exists among higher grade examples. But it is probably a smaller concern than what we already know is happening with the cross-grading process. I think cracking out a card and resubmitting it to a different grader artificially bumps up the numbers way more than this proposed card switching theory.
