If an app (even badly coded) causes memory leaks in the OS, that's a fault of the OS still. Of course fast moving OSes like Android or iOS are always going to have these kinds of bugs and it's probably not related to Swift as Swift isn't used in the kernel internals.

How's that so? An app doesn't have to leak OS memory, just leak its own memory.

Well, leaking kernel memory is very different than leaking application memory, because one can be paged out while the other is wired permanently.
