i don't know whether this fully explains it. germany, even after 1960, never really invested much into IT. we have one company here, infineon, which produces processors, but afaik they're microprocessors for automobile, not PC-material. we do have strong open source software development here in germany though. (KDE, ...)

I think it does fully explain it. Germany has never made CPUs, but they have definitely been there on the software scene though

Germany has long been a powerhouse on software. It trends towards mission critical stuff rather than anything consumer facing, but it's been very much around for many decades now
