But with Swift riding on top of the LLVM infrastructure similar to Rust, cross platform libraries are also possible with the Swift toolchain, no?

  Sure - this may be me more appealing if you prefer Rust as a language or wrote some existing code in it but still want to be able to target iOS.

  Nothing about LLVM makes Swift inherently cross-platform. LLVM bitcode is not target independent.

    I'm not sure I understand the relevance? Neither are rust libraries.

  Not sure about exposing Swift to C itself, while Rust has a clear "call from C" story. I think that's what was referred to.
