For those people it is definitely better than GJS!
Well, I mean if the difference was only about static typing, I definitively see what you're talking about. But the difference between GJS and Swift for Gnome app development is greater than that, so personally just that one "feature" wouldn't push me towards Swift.
But yeah, probably for some it's worth it, so that's pretty cool :)
