At least to me, an entire swerve module is too much of a completed mechanism to sell directly to FRC teams.

A gearbox or wheel or hub or sprocket is fine, as there is still a lot of thought left to the teams on how to apply it to make it work. But selling entire (or even partial) mechanisms or assemblies takes too much thought away from teams and begins to turn FRC into a "plug and chug" competition.

Swerve is one of those things that you really need to have the resources available to do it right, from the wheel modules, to the frame, to the software to control it. If your team really wants to do swerve but doesn't have these resources, recruit a local machine shop, company, university, or fellow FIRST team to help you, as you'll learn a lot more in the process.

That being said, there are plenty of very successful robots in FRC that use plain 'ol skid steer drive trains.
