Description
Because we keep re-building swift syntax 6+ times right now, which is a waste.
We could swift build --scratch-path=../../.build and adjust the plugins to consider scratch paths when looking for dylibs hmmm

Research direction
Start by examining the sample build flow around swift build --scratch-path=../../.build and how the plugins locate dylibs. Done means confirming whether a shared scratch path avoids rebuilding Swift syntax repeatedly while the plugins still find the required dylibs.
