All the other methods "above" mach_absolute_time are still allowed though, including clock_gettime_nsec_np that's only ~2x slower than mach_absolute_time. While the Swift clock is ~40x slower than mach_absolute_time. I don't see how intentional slowdown for fingerprinting protection can be the cause.
