In Germany (for employees) they just take their share and if you’re ok with that you don’t have to do anything at all.

Unless you’re a US citizen or permanent resident, in which case you still need to file in the USA, but that’s not the Germans’ fault.

My anecdotal experience in Germany is that it's well worth the hour or so to fill out a tax return with some common deductions. The downside of optional filing is that many people will lose money to laziness or ignorance.
