There are things you can't swarm. Security, for instance; a breach is a breach. Put the hardware you're trying to secure in the hands of the consumer -- the nominal attacker -- and this becomes Really Hard.

Swarms work great for server farms, or bespoke projects where cost is not an issue (e.g., that spacecraft, where you can afford multiple implementations of the system).

I can't see anyone throwing a swarm at a consumer product. Why would you waste the money? The pressure is to go to the edge and make it more reliable, and cheaper.
