I would be surprised if the majority of the people who downvoted the comment have actually lived in Sweden. It's more likely it was because the comment wasn't (initially) specific, or because it didn't match the universally positive image they have of Sweden.
I live in Sweden and I don't have a “universally positive image” of it — but I've also heard complaints about the burden on employers from [insert any country here]'s policies before, so it's not a very interesting comment to me.
