Why does switching doors in the Monty Hall Problem increase odds: 2 doors, 50-50

I have read through around 10 articles and webpages on this problem, and still don’t understand. I’ve run simulations and yes, switching does get you better odds, but why?

The way it makes sense to me is:

Switching will only get you a goat if you picked the door with the car first (1/3 chance).

If you picked either goat first, switching will get you the car (2/3 chance).

It works because the host always reveals a goat after you pick.
