I am saying that it's unhelpful to miss the context, and it would be a shame if one was to misread that the Swift compiler can't even provide error locations, which it obviously can in the vast majority of cases.

Swift's compile time performance is obviously well documented. It's not great, and performance is definitely one of the trade-offs. SwiftUI leans heavily on the compiler and is very much at the sharp end of this. Most "normal Swift" code is by and large just fine. Of course discussions tend to spiral outwards, but stripping context and adding largely uninformed, quick judgements rarely adds value to any discussion.
