Nobody's stopping a local mid-market manufacturer from automating workflows. Or hindering a utility company from offering a better service process.
The problem is corporate leadership.
German companies tend to be run by people who are inflexible, uninspired, and cheap. Maybe it's in the culture. Compare this to Austria, where there's a cultural flair for the dramatic (and therefore an eagerness to stand out, even if it's weird) or Switzerland where enterprises, public or private, are not afraid to place big bets.
