Except that in a class-B/AB amp, the crossover distortion is presented directly to the output and must be minimized. With class-D, the switched output is averaged over time to give what is (hopefully) a signal without artifacts of the devices that generated it.
You can think of it like a water tank with a steady drain/outflow. To keep it full you could either finely adjust the inflow until it matches the outflow or you could turn the inflow on and off at the right interval to keep the level up, but you won't be able to tell which is happening by just looking at the outflow.
