As much as I like SwiftUI (and I hope they continue improving it), it still lacks so many features compared to the UIKit equivalents that I recently had to completely rewrite a SwiftUI app recently because half of it was just UIKit wrapped in representables, and Combine doesn't require SwiftUI. It ended up simplifying things because we no longer had to deal with two UI frameworks instead of just one.
