Poor sports culture in general compared to Norge these days, the number of youth doing any sports whatsoever is miniscule compared to Norway where every kid does sports for fun. Add the fact that most talented kids choose ice hockey and football and floorball, not endurance sports. So the talent pool for good xc skiers is very small these days. Oh, and most Finns live in the South where usually the winters are abysmal these days (this year has been a nice exception).
