I made an error in my initial breakdown so deleted.
Here is a link describing why swaps are only one way currently.
Basically, in its current state, you can’t “buy” bitcoin with XMR. You must “sell” XMR for bitcoin, and the actual on-chain swap has to be initiated by the Bitcoin/buy side. The difference may seem trivial (Bob and Alice each exchange their funds in the end) but it’s an important distinction.
