Obj-C is unusable for many new Apple platform features. Not suitable for building anymore.

Electron - not available on iOS, so it is out of the question.

I make a living off my iOS/macOS apps so I am interested in ways to diversify without giving up the platform that makes me my money. These cross platform solutions for Swift are interesting for those targeting Apple platforms. I agree they are not compelling if you do not prioritize Apple platforms.

I can't make a living off Linux like I can on Apple. Android is also much less profitable. So Apple continues to make business sense for me, for what I build and who my customers are. And thus Swift.
