A conditional conformance for Optional could in fact be useful, but what’s the use-case for Bool?
If somebody needs a Bool conformance for generic code, it’s extremely simple to just define conformance herself.
If we see that people really do need Bool conformance, we can still add it at any time.

I would start with the default initialiser.
