While the bureaucracy certainly applies to German government, companies here are no better and no worse than anywhere in the world.

If you have an example of a German IT company requiring a fax, please share, so I can mock my German co-workers ;)

No, Health care is a government institution, not a private company.

not to dispute the point in light of the question, but:

german health-care is thoroughly privatized, thou heavily regulated by the government.

That's true. But Covid tracking in Germany is done by the Gesundheitsamt (health office), which is the government institution (like everything ending with -amt).
