Makes me wonder how much of it is Sauna, vs just the luxury of having the time to go do nothing for ~30 minutes.

I nearly made a screen time comment but you are right, its facility availability and travel time issue more than anything
Finland has saunas everywhere, having a sauna at home isn't even expensive average people have that, its just a cultural thing its like having a toilet at home it isn't something normal people can't afford.
No travel time. Most Finnish houses have a sauna built in.
