Switzerland isn't as much of a paradise as people seem to think. They have strange, strict rules such as that you cannot flush the toilet after 10pm, you cannot mow your lawn on Sundays, and you have to pay a Dog Tax if you own a Dog. And if you do own a Dog then you are required to own a pair of dogs because Swiss animal laws state that animals who are alone by themselves lack companionship and thus are being abused by their owners.
The Swiss know how to mind their own business but they sure do have some strange regulations.

I had to look it up real quick as well because that is crazy but I think it is a very broad tenant regulation in where they give you reasonable time to do your thing in the bathroom, shower and toilet as long as it is under 20 minutes. I can't picture nobody sitting there damm near crying because it is after 10 o clock shytting in buckets and I I can't see no landlord being that anal about it as well.Who's gonna stop you from taking a dump after 10 you gotta flush the toilet...

Video only states "ease of doing business" as a "reason" for Switzerland to be rich...rest of the points have little to no link with economic prosperity.
Neutrality is overblown too, Belgium also was neutral in WW1 and WW2 but still got invaded by Germany.

nazi gold.
is that a national rule or certain cantons making their own laws?
Belgian neutrality was only based on a British guarantee, and nothing more. The Germans quite literally referred to is as a "piece of paper". Swiss neutrality, on the other hand, is based on centuries of independence from expansionist powers on account of their location in the mountains making an ideal defensive position. Because of that, ALL major financial interests in the 20th century kept their money safe there. Even still, Hitler had initiated plans for an invasion but never gave the green light. While there's no definitive evidence, many historians agree that Hitler most likely recognized the tactical nightmare it would be, especially considering the Wermacht's reliance on blitzkrieg and need to quickly secure the western front.
Even today, the Swiss Guard provides personal protection for the Pope.

That's my point, only saying "neutrality" doesn't explain not being invaded, as you explained there are different forms of "neutrality".

The point here, I think, is that no one has violated Swiss neutrality in centuries. What's made theme unique is that they've maintained neutrality despite being located in the middle of the most violent and intense conflicts in human history.

Didn't know too much about Swiss neocolonialism. I shouldn't be surprised, but it does get tiring after a while.
