Does it limit choice like it is? Yeah, but it's acceptable like it is.
Patronising "I don't think you understand" gambit aside, the details of what you're saying are correct, but the point is that Fire 3 is still a spell even it is proc'd and the fact that the proc overrides Swiftcast isn't explained anywhere, so it's still inconsistent behaviour. Whether it's acceptable or not is a different topic.
