They seem to be very heavily invested in the long game that is SWC[0][1] which will eventually replace webpack as a whole as well

At this point we know that Webpack is dead. Unless there is a new release that rewrites it in Rust or Go and makes it comparable in speed to Vite/SWC which will never happen. The two different approaches seem to be either going with SWC or Vite. I'm honestly not sure which one will prevail, or if they will both co-exist, splitting the previous market share taken up by Webpack.
