The problem is impressumspflicht, you have to add your full contact address plus name to a website you host, inviting all sorts of trolls on the internet to ruin your life. No thanks.

Same problem with the Play Store/Console if you're registering as an individual instead of a company to publish an app.
No it’s not.

You’re generalizing, DACH != the entire EU.

You can register domain names anonymously. Sure, you will be asked for contact details (WHOIS), but no one verifies them.
You can be suite in some European countries if you have a web page without an impressum and latest your domain registration will have your credit card to track you. Obviously, not all cases can be traced back.
https://njal.la/ or other providers will take your crypto too
Then don't register a domain in those countries, and pay with crypto.
The most European reason to not do something.
