Part of the reason for the restriction is because of the need to prove your identity. Finnish social numbers have e-verification. But so do a lot of other EU countries, and a lot of Finnish OUAS offer to let you verify with another EU country's e-verification. For example, I can use my German Ausweiß (ID Card) to login at several OUAS.
For those who care to: you can apply for Finnish ID at an embassy if you say you want to move to Finland and apply for a visa. You don't have to go ahead with the application, but you need the number to apply so it's an easy way to get one.
