For many apps, especially those that aren't AAA with a full team of dedicated engineers behind them, the constant churn of Swift major version upgrades is a pretty good argument for just sticking with Objective-C.

Swift 3 was a major breaking upgrade. Apple has already stated that 4.0 will not have large breaking changes. Swift is open source so you can follow its development.

  That's nice. But until then, having to re-learn idiomatic Swift every major version, and having to comb through all of your source code to ensure it's still doing what you expect in the new version (automatic migration or not) is a lot of extra effort that you simply don't need to put in with Objective-C. And another nice bonus is that you get to shave off about 10mb of swift runtime from your .ipa.
