Firstly, ‘transpose-lines’ is already bound to C-x C-t.

Secondly, transposing lines is a useful low-level primitive, but IMO a
much more handy UI metaphor is dragging the line at point up or down
through the surrounding lines while preserving the point’s position in
the line. That is implemented in ‘org-drag-line-forward’ and
‘org-drag-line-backward’. Pretty much nothing in their implementations
depends on org-mode, so they can be bound and used in any mode.
