But, honest question, is there such thing as the "Swiss guarantee" in tech?
What have the Swiss ever done for us, in computer science, to demand such respect just by mentioning the place of origin as certificate of trust?
In general flag-bearing, however, the US might just beat out Switzerland but I doubt either are at the top of that list.
There are parts of Switzerland that are extremely conservative - think deep American south but more. Women's right issues are far backwards than the deepest of US south. Women in gained the right to vote in federal elections in 1971 in Switzerland.
Switzerland is also small, the size of SF Bay Area (~ 7 million people). Most people don't realize how small Switzerland is - not in land area, but in many other aspects.
There is also some friction with Germany when it comes to culture and customs. The Swiss pride themselves to speak Swiss-German. Never suggest buying a German watch or you're going to get nasty reactions :-)
Last but not the least, Switzerland has declined to be part of the EU and majority of the people are against joining it. There are a lot of parallels than differences between Brexit philosophy and Swiss sovereignty.
