Just guessing here but it might also have something to do with the neighbour to their south that was invaded by Russia last year which NATO was created to defend against.
Small Arms did a number on the US (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) and the Fins used small arms to tear up the Soviets. When you have highly defensible terrain and firearms, there is little an invading force can do to take the land.
The Soviet plan for Afghanistan was to take the children away and turn them into communists. They could not get a majority of the children and they failed and failed hard.
Finland is slated to join NATO so they will also get a nuclear umbrella, they aren't going to get invaded.

Uh, sure, you could use any excuse. Doesn't change their economy is falling apart and they're in no position to defend themselves.
Their land is heavily wooded and they fought the Soviets to a negotiated peace. Their land is defensible.
If they had the weapons in the army to stand against an invasion. But that costs money.
