IMO the statistics in your link are severely wrong and don't reflect the real-world situation.

I live in Austria and the underground economy here is way WAY bigger than 8.2%.

Most small restaurants/bars/cafes here are cash only and rarely(never) hand out receipts. Also, tips are a large source of income for workers in the service industry and many are paid under the table.

I thought tip culture isn't really a thing in Europe?

When baristas are paid as little as €3/hr (post-crisis Greece), tips are a survival requisite.

Generally you tip 10-15% for a proper sit down meal, that's all.

Generally it differs from country to country, it’s intellectually lazy to say these things about Europe/Americans/Africa.

In Greece, you tip 1 or 2 euros. Maybe 5 if the bill is over 100 euros or something like that.
