It's started to be sold though. Universal Cylcss has a Sword cassette and crank, but not derailleurs or shifters.
I hope that group is a success. The 2x10 at a good price will be really cool.
I do wonder if microshift will be the mechanical groupset of the future as everyone else abandons it. Sword seems to be a big commitment (as least for the moment) to this niche.

I think I will give it a try for my next build.
Very reasonable indeed! I haven't read up on much, but does anyone know how well their cable pull ratio pairs with Shimano cassettes? Or did they develop their own proprietary standards.
