I agree with you. When Swift was introduced it was billed as a modern replacement for ObjC that was easier to learn, even a good choice as a language for learning to program. I'm not sure it was ever that, but it sure isn't now. I just got back into a project written in Swift 3 and had to change a bunch of stuff to get it to work in Swift 5. Why? I keep hearing the language is going to be stable "soon" but that doesn't appear to be happening.
Swift appears to be a language for the captive audience of iOS devs, who are able to keep up if that's all they're doing. I don't really see it being adopted anywhere else.
