  Our current best guess for a unified theory of gravitation and quantum field
theory (string theory) generically predicts a set of requirements for a
consistently quantized theory, the Swampland criteria. Refined versions of
these criteria have recently been shown to be in mild tension with cosmological
observations. We summarize the status of the current impact of and constraints
on the Swampland conjectures from cosmology, and subject a variety of dark
energy quintessence models to recently released cosmological datasets. We find
that instead of tightening the tension, the new data allows for slightly more
freedom in the Swampland criteria. We further demonstrate that if there is no
theoretical argument made to prevent interactions of the moduli fields with the
electromagnetic sector, a novel fine-tuning argument arises from the extremely
tight current constraints on such interactions. Finally, we conclude with a
cautionary tale on model-independent reconstructions of the Swampland criteria
from expansion rate data.
