I don't know your exact situation, but be sure you're not mixing up "thrashing" with "using swap". Obviously, thrashing implies swap usage, but not the other way around.

If it’s frozen, or if the mouse suddenly takes seconds to respond to every movement, then it’s not just using some swap. It’s thrashing for sure.

I get it that the distinction is real but nobody using the machine cares at this point. It must not happen and if disabling swap removes it then people will disable swap.
