Nah the swipe is superior. Most phones don’t use a physical button anyway, it’s a fake button you just can’t use that part of the “screen”. And personally I don’t want a physical button back, the physical home button was the thing that died on both of my iPod touches and my first phone. A home button is just another piece that can break.
Screen breaks and then all your buttons don't work
If the screen breaks to the point of not receiving touch input you almost certainly wouldn't be able to use it with a physical button either
If the screen didn't take up.the entire front of the phone it'd be less likely to break.
“If you just had less usable surface area there’s less area to break”
The point-of-failure argument is a good one, but it's worth saying that Apple fixed this before eventually removing the home button: In later iPhones with the home button it didn't actually physically click, it was capacitive with haptic feedback to simulate the feeling of a click.
