All you have to do is google 'Sal Culosi' and fairfax county. You'll see that they freely admit that they use swat to server all warrants. I'm pretty sure that they are not the 'test case' for swat serving warrants. Just because your particular department does not, does not mean that it's national policy.

How were warrants served BEFORE swat teams? Unless there is solid intelligence that the suspects are armed and dangerous, law enforcement should not be needlessly risking the lives of citizens.
