Or they don't want to pay more than that so they don't find developers. I saw friends moving from Italy to the UK, Germany and the USA because of that. Maybe developers from Germany move to other countries as well.

Germany recruit and attracts a lot from Eastern Europe, specifically Romania. This definitely helps keep salaries lower

I have worked with Romanian software developers, in the past.

Basically, I was quite impressed with their brilliance and almost insane work ethic.

The ones I worked with were kind of unorganized, but that was a small sample.

Romania barely has 100k devs in total, I doubt they move the needle that much.
