In Swift, non-copyable types are introduced to express unique ownership, which is particularly useful for managing resources like files. A non-copyable type can have a deinitializer (deinit) that automatically handles cleanup, such as closing a file. This helps prevent runtime issues like multiple writers to the same file or resource leaks.
