Very true but I would tend to see that as probably being in the same category as Irish neutrality allowing for the Donegal corridor which allowed RAF aircraft passage across Irish airspace. That large nations dominate neighbouring smaller neutral nations is a given and Ireland, Sweden and so on had to come to what terms they could given the context. Just as I don’t find Irish neutrality abhorrent nor do I find it easy to argue against Swedish neutrality even given the very grim reality of what had to occur.
