That's correct! Though that's true for most ORMs as well, and we try not to get lumped into the ORM bucket...too much bad blood.
I've dabbled with CoreData myself and it's a phenomenal API. Apple comes up with a lot of great stuff. In fact, given how much server-side Swift there is these days, we'll have to look into building a Swift client library at some point.
I completely understand, but your product and CoreData go so much further than what ORMs can. It's fulfilling the promise of ORMs and relational databases that's only existed in people's minds up until recently.
I hope EdgeDB is immediately recognized for the value it will bring to developer productivity everywhere!
Now we just need an SQLite version of EdgeQL (perhaps EQLite) for local data and it can completely replace SQL in my life.
