Swarm used pretty big antennas (due to a much lower wavelength) on the ground segment. It was pretty impractical. And that frequency, starlink sats are not capable of it.

Swarm's network was very incomplete, there were hours of no coverage at all. I think that they just bought it to remove a potential competitor.

Rug pull? Guess who designed this direct to cell sats?

The founder of SWARM.

Yes but presumably people designed things to work with swarm. I almost did...
