My in-laws in CA had a swamp cooler. It looked just like a window AC
unit. It acted like a conventional AC. I suppose if you listened
carefully, you'd notice there was no compressor noise. It also
humidified the air which was probably a welcome feature. I think they
have since switched to a plain old regular AC - I don't know why.

My aunt in Amarillo had a swamp cooler and it definitely
put out some COLD air.  Also, it helped with adding
some humidity in that dry as a bone area.

I honestly don't remember if cousins in Albuquerque
had a swamp cooler or window or central air.

A swamp cooler won't work where I live which is pretty much the wettest
spot on the island of Oahu. If I lived around Las Vegas, a swamp cooler
would be just great. OTOH, a swamp cooler won't help if the electricity
goes down. Luckily, I don't live in Vegas.
