This is a very simple and intuitive way to express compositions that naturally 
eliminates the ambiguity around ordering which plagued the original proposal

It is critical to choose a syntax that will scale up for generalized 
existentials, which will plug a whole in the current type system.

It is new, but fits well with the rest

Lots... the only real alternative (with the same benefits) is to use ' + '.  
Given alternatives, swift airs on the side of the easiest to read as English.. 
which means ' & ' is the natural winner

Lots, including exploring a generalization that logically degenerates to the 
syntax prosed here.
