Not me, in this case. I favour Sweden's social safety net stuff—and I honestly don't if Sweden's no-lockdown policy is correct...

But let's try to imagine the point of view of someone who thinks otherwise. Let's start with the no-lockdown policy.

One argument in favour of that is that the policy has a straightforward MEDICAL justification:https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ …

Now that if THAT'S the reason someone favours no-lockdown, then Sweden's other social arrangements are a completely unrelated topic.

Now take the economic argument: having people moving around results in a more robust economy, which may be worth a little extra mortality.

Here your objection is a little weird. Surely the improved economy benefits EVERYONE, to some degree? (Except those who die, of course.)

If the parks and cafés stay open, for instance, then everyone benefits in the form of increased access to the parks and cafés.
