If it's merely about access to Swift as a language, not for Apple platform development, you can run swift docker images for pretty much any Swift version you want (and you can, of course, run them on Mac as well).

Since Swift's niche is Apple platform development it's tied to Xcode. As an independent language it hasn't developed any real niche to date.
