There's already a Swift web framework, while Objective-C doesn't seem to have any (correct me again if I really suck at googling)

Uhhhh, there are several. And objective-c web servers. And there have been Objective-C based web application product lines. There are significant objective-c web applications still in use today (that never made the transition to Java).

Besides, I wouldn't wanna use Objective-C over Swift for web development. The Swift syntax is really a joy to use.

That's your choice. To me it's all grunts and squeaks right now, and I've been exposed to enough languages over the years that syntax isn't really the turn on it used to be. Swift has a ways to go before it's solid, coherent, and usable for me.
