Thanks for writing this up! We appreciate the feedback. These SDKs don't share code with each other, and are implemented differently. I can't speak to why specifically that's the case, but it may just be due to them having different constraints and supporting different platforms. For instance, the Java SDK supports both Android and non-Android environments, whereas the Objective-C and Swift SDKs only support iOS/macOS.
