Not if the grounds are seperate, which they are. Normally, you see circuit interruption in the + lead, but there is nothing wrong with switching the ground lead. In fact, that's how old-style dome lights are switched on via pin switches in older cars. Car horns operate in a similar way. Just depends on the application. Could just be a matter of the circuit using an NPN vs a PNP transistor to do the switch action...
