> Teams working together on a single priority ("swarming") seem to be more successful than teams where each person is doing 1-2 things on their own

It's an interesting one, same as e.g. pair programming; people (and I'm speaking for myself but I'm sure others will agree) prefer to work alone, because software engineering is difficult, brainy work, whereas swarming and pair programming are social activities. If you're like me - introverted, probably on the spectrum, etc - it's something that is well out of your comfort zone.

I think this is not referring to swarm-, or pair-programming. Think of it as the team focusing on a single feature/problem at a time. It just means the team going in the same direction.
