How so? It seems that encapsulation is orthogonal to reference/value semantics.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

The real reason we want to introduce this language change is to solve some 
problems related to resilience. We want to be able to add new stored properties 
to structs, or change existing stored properties to computed properties (and 
vice versa) without breaking binary or source compatibility. Since 
non-delegating initializers expose the exact set of stored properties to the 
client module, they break the encapsulation that we need to allow this.
