I also think that treating a smartphone with insanely powerful processors as if they are embedded devices is also a bit disappointing
Computation is power, which is always going to be at a premium on mobiles in a competitive market. But if you want to have beautiful edifices of mathematics in Swift, you can always use Swift to write your own math library, and still get better performance than cpython. Expecting Swift's built in types to trivially be your math library is wishing the design goals were different.
