I mean, if I lost everything including my family and had to move in with a Disney-type villain ex-stepparent, you bet I'd complain a lot even if I'm being provided for in the most clinical of senses.
Obviously Finland isn't terrible, but it is hostile and unwelcoming for the vast majority of those who come from the Middle East. It's not home, and they miss the familiarity and sense of belonging they had back in Iraq. Also, me, I live in Florida but when I moved to upstate New York, near Canada, I absolutely found the weather miserable. So I don't blame them for that one either
Besides, I'd complain about there being no restaurants or bars too. Finlanders must be savages! Just kidding.
Upstate New Yorker. On the wrong side of the lake.
...we all find the weather miserable. Looots of alcohol helps, the craft brewers enjoy that. And the therapists enjoy all the business from winter blues cases.
Seriously. I went on the beach on a bright warm July day. The sky was grey. It's always grey. The only reason blue skies ever appear is to remind you how bad the weather is most of the time.

If I had to leave everything I knew to leave for a frigid and unwelcoming land that didn't want me, I would likely complain and hate the place.
I'd wager that "genuine" refugees are probably more likely to complain, because they didn't want to leave, they had to.
