This should have been a struct. The case against enums.

Swift enums are powerful and deeply ingrained in iOS development. They shine when modelling closed domains—but in many real-world codebases, enums slowly take on responsibilities they were never meant to handle. Using real-world examples, I will examine common problems such as poor extensibility, large memory footprints, scattered logic, and enums that grow into unmaintainable “bags of data” with endless computed properties and switches.
