No, it's to ensure that countries with extremely low operating costs thanks to few citizens and not a lot of space (Luxembourg, Switzerland, Ireland come to my mind) don't run price dumping on everyone else, allowing the rich elites to concentrate and extract profits while the countries that made that profit possible (by, for example, providing an educated workforce or a secure legal framework to solve conflicts) get nothing in return.
Switzerland is not a good example to support your idea, they are not very small, have no high density of population and they provide better services than US to their citizens for a lot less money (lower tax rate). They are more efficient and spend wiser.
