<p>I'm testing out app.thorswap.finance for native bitcoin. Supposedly Thorchain is a cross chain swapping service with no centralized parties. Going to the app, I generated a keystore file and it comes with a Bitcoin address. I'm assuming when I send my BTC to this address, it resides under my control until I want to swap it to another coin. How do I access my Bitcoin private keys on app.thorswap.finance generated from my keystore?</p>

How do I get my Bitcoin private keys from app.thorswap.finance which is a native BTC cross chain swapping system?

Go to https://github.com/xchainjs/xchainjs-lib/blob/master/packages/xchain-bitcoin/src/client.ts. Replace bitcoin with your desired currency.
Search on the page with Ctrl + F for "RootDerivationPaths".
Then you'll find something like (this example is for Bitcoin):
    rootDerivationPaths = {
      mainnet: `84'/0'/0'/0/`,
      testnet: `84'/1'/0'/0/`,
    },

Drop the last /0/, add m/ (e.g. m/84'/0'/0').
Import the derivation path you calculated and the phrase in Electrum
