The hardware does support standard swizzle (and fp16 of course, Broadwell too). It may not be enabled yet in the driver though, not sure.
And even if we don't get all the way to "bashing", I think it's fair for us to be proud of having clear leadership in DX12 features for the time being. Indeed several of the main features are there because of us. Not something most would have expected out of Intel a few years ago I don't think
Do you know why dxdiag reports FL 11_1 and not FL 12_x on Skylake?
