Another to reason, if one was needed, to leave iOS development well alone if you value your time.

How so? I see orders of magnitude more webdev jobs on Indeed.com than iOS jobs.
I meant it as in the market today is mostly in mobile and the people with money are mostly on iOS, so that’s the platform to mostly target.

Apple’s business goals are for 1P and 3P apps to provide the best app+device experience on Apple hardware. Everything they to is to that end, since they make their money from selling hardware. A programming language thriving is a secondary or tertiary goal.
Except the end-result of that policy is that 90% (made up number) of the app on the store are made with cross-platform tools, because very few can afford 1/ learning a language just for one platform 2/ not reusing any code at all between platforms. I don’t think swift has any future in the long term unless they go multiplatform.
You're talking about a company that continues to support a crappy macro system named after themselves, first released 30 years go, that absolutely nobody else supports or cares about.
They just don't care. Apple will do what Apple will do.
