I'd like to lol a little bit. ;-) The raspi is designed as a cheap learning plattform for everyone. Your lession learned was that swap can be useful. The next lesson would be that it's better to avoid swap for performance but this one you knew already. People new to IT would learn that the hardware resources need to match the task(s). Fullfilled its task the raspi had.
