A Curve
object does not know the conventions of a swap. It does not plot a swap rate. It plots a curve rate. Normally this is used for tenors such as 1d, 1m, 3m, 6m, 12m. Tenors longer than 12m will are expressed as single period simple rates.
Your 5y discount factor is 0.816521. The first point on a plot for a 5Y rate would be calculated with: (1.0 / 0.816521 -1) (1 / 5.0) 100 = 4.494%
Which is the ration of two discount factors at start and end scaled by a day count fraction between the dates.
To return a different calculation, e,g.
would all require a definition and a different type of calculation.
These additional calculations are all currently not defined, nor developed.
Hey,
I'm trying to recreate the SOFR curve from swaps, and after roughly getting the discount factors right, it seems like the curve fails to plot longer tenors. The data I have from Bloomberg is below:

The 1-year curve looks to be on par with Bloomberg:

However, when the tenor is 25 years, it fails by quite a bit:
