Building with it

Upgrading diamond leggings gives 555 uses plus the toughness and knockback resistance that separate netherite from everything below it. Swift Sneak lives in this slot too, and it only comes from ancient city chests, which makes a good pair of netherite leggings genuinely hard to replace.

In practice

Swift Sneak lives only in the leg slot and comes only from ancient city chests, which makes a pair of netherite leggings carrying Swift Sneak III one of the hardest items in the game to replace. Crouching at nearly walking speed changes how the deep dark can be explored. Leggings take the second largest share of melee damage, so the extra durability from netherite shows up there first. If the pair carries Swift Sneak from an ancient city, upgrading is also the only insurance against losing an enchantment that no table can replace.
