I'll be frank, the developer experience of swift is horrible. Webdev with typescript, their instant response times in development, lack of compiling and lack of an update cycle (the URL is always the latest version, whether you like it or not) is way more productive than compiled iOS dev. Swift is only good for macOS and iOS effectively now.

Flutter devex is also faster and more responsive, but it just doesn't quite make as a good of a product on iOS. iOS users are higher revenue and have higher standards than android users also.
