You may use them to defend yourself, but you are not allowed to give them to your neighbour giving them the ability to defend themself.
Restrictions on re-export are not uncommon. It's the Swiss' criteria arising from neutrality that are weird.

Sort of, but Switzerland is not going to sell you spare parts, ammunition and so forth when you are at war.

Also Switzerland as a neutral country can choose to supply weapons to both sites.

Pacta sunt servanda.

AfaIk, exactly this was their argument for not providing weapons to Ukraine, as then they as well would have to deliver weapons to russia (in case they ask for some).
