I am amazed at how Docker bricked on Docker Swarm so hard.
I assert to this day that the only conclusion to choosing Docker Swarm is to rewrite a worse version of Kubernetes.

The initial project the team worked on was called Beam. After about 6 months and no progress to show, the conversations referenced above happened and this is the result..
Kubernetes launched at the first DockerCon[1], early 2014. Swarm was launched[2] in beta in Dec 2014.
So, roughly 1 year late to market, 6 months after initial K8 launch.

But yes agreed this was all completely frustrating at the time, and completely depressing now.
