One could claim that actually the main "argument", which isn't really much an argument, is that the government could not legally order a lockdown. Or, well, they could still order it. But since it would have been illegal, it could not have been enforced in any way, as it would also be illegal to follow any order to enforce it. Some politicians wanted a lockdown, but soon found out that Swedens crisis response laws are not triggered by disease, at least not unless it's a clear threat to the continuation of the state as such. Covid IS serious, but this far it doesn't look like a civilization ending disease.
