Sweden is 90% stand-alone wood houses. Netherlands is way more densely populated with stone housing blocks. It costs a lot more to add heat pumps 3 stories high and through thick brick stones.

It appears that most Swedes live in apartments.

Your straw man comment is therefore incorrect. Apartments have centralized heating, usually, and, if not, then each has a heat pump. Adding a wood burning stove to a modern apartment would be impossible as far as I know. Therefore, my comments were directed at people who live in stand-alone houses only.
