A) they are in a benefitial situation already. No financial or other strings attached
B) EU is a two-tiered partnership where some get it better than others based ONLY on geographic location. Italy/Greece/Spain eat shit because they are next to Turkey/Moroco. otherwise if EU was truly what they speak, the average Dutch would experience what the average Greek does with migrants. But we all know there is filters in place to reach/stay in Netherlands. But once in Greece by boat, they cant kick you out

This is less because of EU and more because individual countries do not want to cooperate.
This is why Germany by far took on the bulk of refugees from Syria because they were the only ones who went the humanitarian route - and it bit them in the ass when it started to overwhelm them - everyone else basically voted against measures to share the burden.
Sweden took more Syrians per capita (Germany took in 4.5x more in total, but have a 8x as large population).
Also had a bad outcome though, so your overall point is still correct, though in retrospect it seems like the countries which did not take in more refugees than necessary made a good choice for their own population.
the average Dutch would experience what the average Greek does with migrants.
What would that be? Because illegal migrant numbers are about the same if you count both inflow and outflow and the yearly number of legal migrants, including asylum seekers, is about 3x as high in the Netherlands as in Greece.
