Using field_value in if statement

Problem/Motivation

I have a field that is a boolean field. I can print out the field value as "On" but when I try to use the value in an if statement, it does not evaluate correctly.

{% set display = 'no value' %}
{% set toggle = content.field_toggle|field_value %}
{% if toggle == "On" %}
  {% set display = 'elemental' %}
{% endif %} 

Toggle value {{ toggle }} Display value {{ display }}

This renders as Toggle value On Display value no value

If I instead use the regular method with {% if content.field_toggle.0["#markup"] == "On" %} then it works.

Steps to reproduce

Create a field that is a boolean with the default On/Off settings
Compare value as above

    {{ content }} is a render array. on dump, we can see an array

    0 array:1 [▼
      0 => array:1 [▼
        "#markup" => "On"
      ]
    ]

    {{ content.field_toggle.0["#markup"] }}

    Content is not ideal for logic. use content. for rendering and node. for logic.
