Yes... why not? It helps them sleep better and makes them feel comforted.

She loves it, it's the only way she sleeps
But I was told not to, trying to understand why

Some babies like it, some don't. Do what your baby likes, not what someone else tells you.

No. The reflex needs to be integrated. It can lead to issues down the road to swaddle. Check out On Track Baby on Instagram for more info.

They grow out of the reflex, they can grow out of the swaddle. It takes some times to transition, but imo a lot easier than not swaddling when they have the moro reflex.

That's bogus.

Yes I swaddle. It's fantastic. You need to make sure that baby's legs are bent so the hips can develop properly.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It really depends. If you are interested in really learning about development, there is a course coming up this Tuesday - it's an interactive course. I took it 2 years ago and it saved my child from so many issues down the road. (I know because all of my other children had issues.) Here's the link: https://handsonapproaches.com/baby-on-track/

So many posts on imamother about infants that this resource would be amazing for. Good luck.

Do what your baby wants. I only had one child who liked swaddling. The other 3 hated it. My 4th actually pulled out from day 1.
