Where did I talk about the Mittelstand? I only addressed the issue of the modern "Made in Germany" consumer goods which tends to be an overhyped outdated trope that delivers overpriced and poor quality goods by today's standards.
It's oblivious most consumer goods are gonna come from very large companies since only those have the economies of scale to manufacture, sell and market internationally consumer goods at a profit.
Mittlestands mostly cater to niche products or local markets where there's less downward pressure for cost or upward pressure for innovation by international competition.
