By the time the Swift project eventually has a great message to share on that, there could well be hardly any non-iOS/macOS developers listening. Look at the last 5-10 years. The momentum gap between e.g. Rust and Swift in the wider development community is gargantuan.
IMO if Swift had had a great multiplatform toolchain/developer-experience in the ~2015-2019 timeframe then it could have established itself as the no-brainer C++ successor. But that moment has passed and they squandered the opportunity.
