I think that's a misconception. If I was told Sweden in the MCU had achieved a technological utopia it would elicit the same questions.
Sweden doesn't have the history of being exploited and having its resources stripped from it.
Wakanda being completely cut off from the world is supposed to reside in a tricky grey area. T'Challa typically tries to get Wakanda to connect with the world at large when he comes into the throne, but it's a decision he struggles mightily with, even after it's made. Hell, in the MCU, T'Chaka talks about Wakanda deciding they've been cut off for too long in the aftermath of Ultron nearly destroying the planet with their vibranium, and Wakanda not being around to help. The Wakandans killed in Lagos at the beginning of the film were on an outreach mission meant to reestablish Wakanda's footprint in the world.
Superheroes, action scenes, visual effects. Typical Marvel shit.
People are getting ridiculous with this criticism.
