It makes perfect sense :) Other guys alredy answered why is that

Depends :)

If using of swap for "inactive" processes bothers you, you
can always change swapiness setting.

Change it with "sysctl vm.swappiness=VALUE where VALUE is
some value lower than default (60).

If you want to have it persistent across reboots, put it
in sysctl.conf.

Search for swappiness keyword to find detailed explanation
about what is it and what you can expect with changing of
that value.
