I was one of those people. Yes, he should have turned himself in to Sweden instead of sentencing himself to several years of confinement in the UK. The conspiracy theories were about the US seeking to extradite Assange using the rape case as pretext. This was dismissed as lunacy because US authorities didn't need the rape case as pretext; they could have simply sought his extradition on the charges they are now seeking to extradite him for. If anything, the rape case would have made extradition more complicated because Sweden is less willingly to extradite to the US than the UK, the UK would have prioritized extradition to Sweden over extradition to the US.
