I call Kotlin Android's Swift.

Wow.. Swift is reading a lot like JS and TS.

(PS. I am new in both the languages and no Swift expertise)

Exactly!

Heaven forbid they just support Swift instead.

You'd need to rewrite Swift to run on the Android VM (a big undertaking) or fork the Android frameworks to work well with Swift. That's a much bigger undertaking than supporting a language which was created for the JVM and specifically made for interoperability with Java.
