Most people in Germany do not have an electric dryer.

Also, electricity prices are not the same everywhere. My parents for example pay only 20 ct/kwh (I have no idea how they got that contract, especially since they moved only last year. They have low overall usage though (2,000 kWh/a, with fixed cost being like 30% of the total bill)

Having a dryer is not the same as using it for all loads. Sometimes you need quick access to clothes. Work, spilling accident, not enough room for natural drying. In summer, if you can dry safely outside, that is a far better option.
