That's because most people in the world have a somewhat clearer picture of what Switzerland and Austria are. Sure both are associated with mountains and skiing, but Austria is associated with Mozart, Vienna (boys choir, opera), Sissi, the Hapsburgs, The Sound of Music and even Hitler (
).
Switzerland has an even stronger international brand with Gruyère (Swiss) cheese, watches, neutrality, the Red Cross, chocolates, yodelling, German-French-Italian regions, international agencies, the Geneva Convention, banking in Zurich...
