This is the common wisdom in Sweden. It's also trivially false.
Sweden made a bunch of changes at the same time. Why would this one thing be the only thing?
And why is our neighbor Finland able to have the best school in Europe and they did the exact same thing? Logic seems to have little place in this discussion.
The problem with the Swedish privatization in my opinion is that it managed to enable scientologists and real actual islamists (vetenskapsskolan) to open schools.
