This is untrue. There are means that makes it easier than everywhere else...
First condition is to have Swiss friends who help you. It also depends on the canton, on the country you are originating from and somehow on how deep are your pockets (later not always true).
To become Swiss you must have lived there for 10 years and may have to pass some exams depending on the canton.
The most funny thing about becoming Swiss is that your birth is moved to the city where you got your Swiss citizenship on all your Swiss papers. I have 2 French friends which parents moved to Switzerland (to pay less taxes and to give more to their children as France is even worst when it comes to inheritance) and they are Swiss now born in Switzerland.
