Because the IC-Car companies are the source of germanys wealth and the tech-race reset that e-cars represented, does not favor german production culture. We suck at software, compared to eastern Europe. Even the politicians recognized this lack and desperately tried to "synthesize" a google/amazon/Facebook/ms from nothing. Resulting in the wirecard scandal. At the same time, the boomers are all entering retirement age, burdening the young generations with a huge tax load, while this younger generations are more mobile then ever.

Some of them already are leaving, trying there luck in other countries, were the culture is less focused upon running things into the ground. So, the wish for the IC to stay alive, is nothing but nostalgia for the good times to stay alive. Strangling the future while dreaming of the past - a certain recipe for disaster.
