Why do gyros use tilt head rather than swashplate

NJ, but I forget the town. Even though the
airstrip was in the Western (less populated portion of the state - rural,
actually), the local residents were the highly paid, city-commuter types
(NYC) and, apparently both vocal and influential. The 18A clearly was
louder than the other planes (typical spam can range, plus a goodly amount
of low-powered Cubs, Champs, etc.) - it definitely stood out during ops.

Man, don't you hate that? Was it one of those deals where the airport was
there long before any of the homes?
