The only thing that chocks me is that there's only one Swedish-speaking school in Finland that teaches Latin (ofc the US public system thing is alarming, bu it's nothing of a bombshell). Am I the weird guy here or ..?


No demand. Our university education is not based on liberal arts, which makes the likes of Latin effectively vanity subjects.

Also not having any Catholic tradition lessens the appreciation of Latin.
