The guarantee is that if Sweden would be attacked, other members will support with their troops.

Allied guarantees are not something to rely on really. The de-facto participation was something more honest for expectations IMHO.

The responsibility is that Sweden must expand their military.

I don't think that's a problem for them, they never turned it into some bureaucratized rudimentary institution in the first place and they had a nice military during the Cold War.
