They don't have resupply line...

>Their pl8 armor and pike formation worked very well against longbows
Because longbowmen can't shoot running away so their time window of shooting is short. Horse archers can kite infantry shooting on the move.

While the swiss maneuvered fast and often surprised their enemies during the burgundian and early italian wars I have never read about them outmarching cavalry. So when did this happen?

LMAO
Pikes are heavy weapons. Armour is heavy. The swiss were disciplined, but they weren't superhuman.
