Can anyone explain why these domains are usually so much more expensive that .com domains? I just looked at .se and most of those run almost $40/year. It seems like demand would have .com domains priced higher than these cc-TLDs.

There is very little variable cost to create one additional domain name, so it's hard to have a logical explanation for their pricing. All the TLDs have different beliefs about which price will maximize profit.

Then you have looked at the wrong registrars. Loopia[1], Binero[2] and Crystone[3] all sell .se domains for around $15. (I'm not affiliated with any of these companies),

Ok, thank you!
