It’s a problem with the proposed rules but to nitpick, I’m not sure player 1 would always switch. The natural counterplay would be for player 2, seeing the really bad move, to make his own really bad move in an attempt to equalize their positions.
If I had to guess, black is favored in Armageddon after both players play the worst possible turn 1s, but it’s not obvious to me.
