Jogal, sorry but this is incorrect.
Kodi will not turn hdr on unless hdr content is played.
Turning the windows hdr toggle on before opening kodi doesn't make any difference to sdr content since there are several requirements by Microsoft API to actually "activate" hdr for video content.
The toggle, the swapchain, populating the hdr object with metadata, etc..
And the reason that button exist is because an automatic method that can co exist with refresh rate change was not developed yet.
Until that, using the autohdr tool is the most user friendly experience and I have yet to see one comment about degraded picture quality using it.
SDR is displayed as SDR as normal.
