ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Swift was Apple's internal replacement for "Objective C," which proved to be quite difficult to use especially as hardware continued to evolve and "non-Mac" became more interesting and relevant. (Their original Mac programming language was Pascal.)
As I said, Apple do not say that - both of those pages explicitly mention CentOS and Amazon Linux too, for both the development tools and as deployment targets, so it's odd that you can say "only available for Ubuntu" whilst clearly being aware of those pages.
Still, if you want to know why Apple only target the OSes they do, you'll need to ask Apple.
