Juniper, just so they can play in a larger space in your 
network, will even propose that you use the MX as a core 
switch. While it is feasible (it understands pure Layer 2 
switching) and has the older DPC-X cards that don't support 
IP, it really is a huge waste to use your MX as a switch.

Same applies to Cisco proposing the ASR9000 as a switch. 
Why?

The Cisco 6500/Nexus 7000 and Juniper EX8200 makes better 
sense for this.
