The best drivetrain is the one that gets you from point A to B the quickest, and if that drivetrain for you is swerve, then that works out nice. But for a lot of teams, it seems like a standard tank drive accomplishes that goal just fine.
The goals of a good drivetrain depend on the team. I think for most teams a reliable and easily maintainable drivetrain are far more important than everything else. For many teams, agility and speed are far lower on that list than you would think, and therefore swerve isn't prioritized.
