How are countries like Norway and Switzerland not so densely populated considering the fact that they are portrayed as nearly heaven in all aspects?

As others have said they aren’t exactly “heaven”. When compared to countries similar to the USA, the Scandinavian countries are heaven.
However, they do have extraordinarily strict immigration laws, IIRC you have to be able to speak their language passably (please correct me if I’m wrong), prove you have a job and place to live lined up, prove you can support yourself financially, prove you can provide value for their economies. Not to mention you have to pass several health/medical checks (Norway is or used to be particularly strict about that)
Scandinavian countries don’t give immigrants free rides, you have to work to get in.
Then there’s the high taxes, high cost of living, long term cold, and just strict laws in general.
All that being said however I’d love to move to one of those countries but the amount of time and effort to do so is a turn off.
