I'd prefer to see a literal URL than a Foundation URL that is string-initializable. I don't see a URL literal as being in any way necessarily tightly coupled with a Foundation URL type. The point of a literal is that it is inherently typeless and checked at compile time. A color literal depending on context can be a UIColor or NSColor but that's not specified outside of the use context. The code is portable and cross platform.
