Historically, the main argument for Finland in particular is that joining NATO would risk a war with Russia.

The Ukraine war changed this calculus by showing that Russia would invade a country that wasn't even being considered for NATO membership.

Also, now seems like a good time to join because Russia's army is tied up and partially depleted.
