> There is a grave pilot shortage already and the FAA loathes to make GA even more inaccessible than it already is

Lol, inaccessible? Y'all don't even need airstrips to take on and off, for Part 103 ultralights technically not even a license. Meanwhile, here in Germany, first pay up thousands of euros for the ultralight cert, and you have to use dedicated airstrips instead of your farm's field. Oh and if you want to get beyond ultralight, do everything from scratch for the PPL, no credit/transfers.

How does Germany being pathologically worse in paperwork make it any better?

GP claimed GA being inaccessible. It clearly is not, given that ultralight aircraft can be had for a few thousand dollars.

General Aviation is not ultralight aircraft. That is a tiny, tiny portion of GA.
