Also thank you very much for kubernetes link.

Wow, given how expensive RAM is it is no surprise they will never allow kubernetes work with swap, becausr it directly translates to $$$ for GCP and other cloud providers. Also since everyone loves using Java/Spring/Node and other memory hungry frameworks - it print enormous $ for cloud providers to require users overallocate RAM and disable swap.

or am I just spitballing conspiracy theory here and there is no conflict btw decisions like these and vendors' revenue streams?

For years, nay decades, the standard for data centers is no swapping. An incident caused by machine went slow due to swapping is almost as embarrassing as one caused by disk filling. Better to orchestrate a restart every night on your leaky code.
