Sweden also had geographical advantages. Getting ground troops into Sweden even now would be a hard battle. But with the ability to drop tanks from aircraft it would be possible.
During WW2 getting ground troops over the mountains surrounding Sweden was a much harder battle. So the front gate was the only real option.
Then air support was only effective to support ground troops. Now there is more options to target precisely with air attacks but still ground support is needed to win any real war short of wiping the nation out altogether.
