Nothing digitally can currently really prosper in Germany if it isn't an already completely finished consumer product (preferably as dumb as possible). There is capitalism, but there is no venture here. Although investors probably still see it differently, the average user has some form of primordial fear while engaging with any digital technology.

Exception is R&D for the most part, but here these tendencies seem to be growing as well. Insane amounts of money are wasted to evade tech as much as possible.

This has changed from only a decade ago where there was much more enthusiasm for tech. Now people are annoyed by it.
