I don't have a swift either, but lighter isn't always weaker. Sometimes it's just more expensive.
And so what if it's part of the frame? Since when is there something wrong with swapping to a lighter frame? It just so happens that on folders a large piece of the frame is called "seatpost" and can be swapped relatively cheaply and easily.
