The US has a bigger spy apparatus, one created and perfected in
struggle with the Soviet Union which at one time had an even larger
and more powerful spy apparatus. Thus the US government can spy on
Swiss a lot better than the Swiss government can spy on Americans.
Secrecy is more useful to the weak than to the strong. Indeed the US
government can probably spy on the Swiss a lot better than the Swiss
government can spy on the Swiss
