Can I wire-nut together and cut a switch out of my overhead fan?
With all the new technology it seems the NEC and local codes are having a hard time keeping up. This may be one example.
I'm probably over my head here but it seems logical that securely wire-nutting them would certainly be safe. They are in an accessible, approved box. There is still a  switch control which has UL approval although it's technically in the fan/light assembly. I'm not suggesting you do this without checking your local and NEC codes. If they haven't dealt with this yet I would think it will be happening soon.
