Do you mean as some kind of Swift vs. Objective-C argument?

I don't think Apple is interested in having that argument in 2023. There's no point. Swift has won the "language war", politically within Apple and in developer mindshare outside Apple. (I say this as someone who continues to write Objective-C.)

Nope, Swift clearly won (which was created by Apple themselves to replace ObjC in most places if not all eventually).

I think the metrics in their current form don't really mean much if it's only measuring the performance "gain" by getting rid of the ObjC/Swift bridge.
