They also distributed some 50M EUR to employees and management

a friend of mine told some support staff got 20k EUR in bonuses last year because of that

probably they figured out, it's easier to give some of the profits away than pay a higher tax

Finding good people is difficult, especially back in 2021 when everyone was scaling IT like crazy. A good bonus is a good investment in employee retention. On top of that having employees participate in business success aligns incentives. It's just good business sense.
