I think it's too late which is sad since Swift is not a bad language even though I agree it got complex since the last 5 years. Python is mostly used not because of its language features but for cross-platform ecosystem. This is hard and slow to build especially these days (comparing to 10 years ago) since there are many languages and winner takes all or most of the cake. The only way is 1) to provide something really groundbreaking at the time (e.g. ruby on rails) 2) piggyback on other ecosystem by providing great interop (e.g. maybe mojo in the future) 3) slowly grind and hustle until something eventually catchup (e.g. maybe rust in the future) The problem with apple is they are too much focused to wall garden you instead of build ecosystem. Their IBM partnership failed to make something like Rails or Spring Framework for backend. Tensorflow for Swift failed even though it was google project. They don't have cross platform support in their DNA. You don't even get Xcode on Windows or iPad - this is dealbreaker for many people. I would bet more on kotlin (native) / java even though I'm iOS dev myself. Embedded is the exception that they still might win the game since the only competition there is pretty much: C, C++, Rust and sometimes python, js more as a glue.
