Swift is probably not quite good enough for that type of library actually. There was a lot of hype about it being an everything language, but I'm not sure if it actually is for a low level graphics decoding library. For example, a core internal library of SwiftUI is written in C++, ActionGraph, and that is a pretty new thing!

Also apple can be slow to write things in new coding languages internally, there is a lot of stuff still in Objective-C and will be for many, many years.
