Finland doubled the length of the border NATO has to defend now but didn't add any significant military capabilities. The USA has to send 10s of thousands troops to protect that border but the USA has limited resources and is falling short on hiring quotas so where are they getting those 10s of thousands troops? From other borders meaning it has to thin defenses elsewhere to protect that new border. That makes NATO weaker, not stronger.
Where was it announced that the US is sending 10’s of thousands of troops to that border? I guess I don’t know what a significant military capability is to you. 50,000 modern day equipped troops isn’t insignificant.

USA is building literally 15 new military bases in Finland now.
I’ve read we now have access to 15 bases there, not building them.
Whose troops will be deployed there? The USA is paying their upkeep now.
