When all you're holding is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Swerve drive is not for every game. Swerve in general uses more motors, weighs more, and takes up a lot more real estate than an efficiently designed 6WD (or 4WD) base chassis. Yeah it's more maneuverable, but everything in engineering (and life) is a trade off.

Sometimes it's worth it, other times it's not. There isn't really a universal consensus either - if there was we'd all have identical robots - so it's whatever your team perceives to be the ideal for a particular year.
