If Nio can successfully persuade other manufacturers to adopt their battery swap standard, I can see battery swapping becoming mainstream. With the ability to easily replace a worn out or obsolete battery, depreciation becomes much less of an issue.

The issue is all of the swap schemes make you take your charged battery back, or you have to lease a battery from the manufacturer. The financial aspect doesn't really make sense for most people, I suspect, until battery rental/leasing is much cheaper.
This was demoed by Tesla 10 years ago, and offered as a service for a year or so before being abandoned in 2016, apparently due to lack of demand. Guess the landscape may be different now, but single vendor systems are likely still quite a problem.
american consumer behaviour isn't really a benchmark.
