This cliche statement feels trite for such a large project. I'd understand it for a 1000 line JS library, but it makes no sense for a complex language ecosystem that requires multiple full time engineers to maintain.
It isn't my intention to sound "trite". I've personally contributed a little bit to Swift. You don't have to be a compiler genius to help out - you can contribute to Swift Foundation which is almost entirely Swift code and would directly improve cross-platform support.
I would also note that saying "I wish more effort were being made" is a bit entitled when you're talking about an open source project. No one working on any open source project owes you anything. If you want the project to get better then find a way to contribute.

no, "i wish" just means "i wish". it doesn't imply anything like "being owed".
being "open source" doesn't establish carte blanche to oblige everyone to labor on the project if they dared to have a thought or opinion.

there are thousands of projects i'd like to see get better. not everyone has the time, ability, desire or capacity to implement everything they've ever wished for. this is just silly.
