Seems like the amount of trouble to get it to work is almost the same, except you don't have to do any custom fabrication to get it to fit.

I would say this is an upgraded engine replacement. Not a swap.
Not everyone cares to spend the money and time on a higher HP or insta-famous swap. This is interesting to me bc for a few grand I can be back at the track with a slightly upgraded engine in a weekend without the hassle of custom parts, swap kits, standalone, tunes, ect. Most people probably just want to get their car running again and found a 2017+ engine and want to know if it can work. Swapping to a K engine is MUCH more trouble that a 2017+ engine replacement.
