Because whoever bought Swype (which had its own limitations, most particularly that it liked to suggest "née", a word I almost never use, instead of "me", which is one of the most common in English) just buried it. Apple's swiping keyboard is junk, but since I really became used to using Swype on Android for almost a decade, I can't bring myself to use two hands to type on a phone. "Our", "out", and "put" are going to be tough; so be it. But Swype had the very elegant technique of squiggling on a letter to indicate that it should be doubled, which others do not. And you could capitalize just by swiping up above the keyboard area from the first letter. And it had handy shortcuts by swiping from the Swype key in the bottom left to various places, using it like ctrl on a regular keyboard - A, X, C, V worked as you would expect. And so on. Not to mention that it learned quickly - type "fuck" five times, and it's in the dictionary and won't try to censor you when you Swype it. Not so on iOS. Guess I'll go back and give SwiftKey and GBoard another chance. Maybe they've improved.
