That limit is on the interchange fee, not what the merchant pays their payment processor, which is still significantly higher.

Good to know. Then i am still wondering why there seems to be wider adoption of CC in Germany. Or maybe we are only reaching the CC adoption that other EU countries have already seen a long time ago...
Germany is still nowhere close to what's common in other EU countries. Pretty much all Germany's neighbors have much higher adoption of terminals accepting MC/Visa.
