Why is it allowed to join a swap with nodes you are already peered?

CL does not support multiple channels between peers (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/110497/why-doesnt-c-lightning-allow-you-to-open-multiple-channels-with-the-same-peer), so the swaps might be doomed to fail.

It's allowed, but you get big warnings about it before you do. Many nodes have duplicate channels.

It will break swaps with CL nodes. So it would be awesome to have this in your profile or something to actually prevent others from joining.
Could be done per-swap, but then only the creator can set this limit.
