If true, it does not surprise me. While there is a lot of language war going on in the ML ecosystem, I never really heard anyone using, planning to use or waiting for swift for TensorFlow.

It might be a nice language (never used it), but there are other contenders with more engineers/scientists support like Rust and Julia, for which the advantages were clearer.

Finally, the whole ordeal got a very bad look from having its main proponent being the creator of Swift instead of the actual community pushing for it.

Precisely because Chris Latter had the idea of replacing everything from C to Javascript with Swift.

I didn't like that idea then, I still dont like it now. But the idea in itself is very Apple (ish).
