Swing is a horror show from both a developer and an end-user perspective, don't know why you would even mention that. Windows desktop apps based on Forms or WPF are in another league both in terms of ease of development and user experience.

Swing is only an horror show for those that don't bother to read books like "Filthy Rich Clients", or don't want to spend money on a proper design team.

Why do I mention? Because until now .NET Core still doesn't have anything like Swing across all supported platforms.

MAUI might do it (Xamarin renamed), or you might just get Blazor running on WebWidgets.

I rather have Swing if the alternative is running Blazor that way.

Not counting community toolkits here, just what is available out of the box.

I worked a bit for a project that tries to make Swing Application to touch friendly. There's almost zero support for touchscreen.
