I had considered changing the generator name to "objc" for this exact
reason. As I mentioned previously, the Swift generated code uses the same
library implementation; which as I'm sure you're aware is written in
Objective-C.
Until we decide (if ever) to have a dedicated Swift native library. I think
the folder name is best left as cocoa which represents its shared nature
between the Swift & Objective-C generators.
Also, I did add some Swift files to ease the code generation but even those
build on the Objective-C implementations as well.
