That system was propagated by the two “Spitzenkandidaten” themselves. It’s not a law nor did the national governments sign up for it.

So yes, it was a bit of deception, created as part of of a fight between institutions. Just about nobody decided their vote based on these candidates, anyway.

If nothing that is being promised during an election actually matters, we really don't have to keep pretending like this is a democracy.
