I don't trust Apple to care about platforms or developers that aren't directly benefiting them.

They barely care about developers for their own platforms. Their docs are atrocious.

Lots of open source projects and foundations, or businesses where you can actually pay for guarantees.

Apple just doesn’t like making solid commitments to outsiders, especially for something as mundane as legacy support. They want to mold swift into anything they want/need.
