What if I make a SwiftDelivery app? Would that also get me sued?
Probably not. I am not a lawyer though. The Apple Corps vs Apple Computer lawsuit may make for some interesting introductory reading about various aspects of intellectual property law for you, if you are so inclined.

This is called SwiftAI, though.
Right, and if it were called IBM AI, they’d get a letter from IBM instead. You can’t just tack something onto the end of a trademarked brand name.
IBM and Apple are company names, which means the intent to mislead can play a role during legal proceedings. Compared to banning the use of "Swift" in any phrase or sentence by any future company for the foreseeable future.
If they can prove enough similarities or overlap with their brand, they’ll find the way. And since it targets macOS/iOS specifically, there you go.
Als considering that Apple probably has Apple Intelligence trademarked
Or from Taylor’s.
