I think FFG is past making swarms a major player in the meta, for real swarms you need a good number of ships of the same type more than you'd ever wind up with even if you bought all the sets that came with the same kind of ship. All the sides can make viable 2/3 ship squads, why would you want to shell out the cash for a bunch of extra models that come with cards that  you'll probably wind up with more than you could ever possibly need.

Plus at this point if FFG tried to force the swarm back into the meta (by making 2/3 ships less viable) it would probably cause a uproar of people calling FFG out for being money hungry.
