What an amazing time to be alive that those few words are providing all the required context.

Could easily be that they have a bunch of people in Munich they can not fire since German labour laws are at least compared to a lot of places not that bad and they have to come up with some work for them. So having them work on this is still cheaper then having the people in the valley plus "useless" people in Munich.
God from the bible. The whole book will just be a bunch of ancient stories nobody should care about anymore. Would be interesting to see what the world would be like without Christianity.
Same thing with why do I need to pay someone to do maintenance my car, kitchen, AC, whatever works perfectly well.
Also why should we pay developers to do stuff like dependency upgrades and other maintenance or software just runs™
Not that new given that a law informally called the "The Hague Invasion Act" exists for more then 20 years and it's only purpose is being a threat to the ICC .
I don't think your conclusion is correct and a correlation between the two numbers is by far not enough to assume a causality between the two of them. I would rather assume there are a lot of other factors being involved. Like e.g. the education system, especially the amount of years spent on education before starting to work, the general wealth of the society, the social securities provided the government, like e.g. health care, unemployment support etc.
And also because it's a comfortable cover up for any kind of money saving stupidity. We don't need proper requirements engineering, we're agile. We don't need an operations team we're doing an agile DevOps approach. We don't need frontend Devs, we're an agile team you all need to be full stack. I have often seen agility as an excuse to push more works towards the devs who aren't trained to do any of those tasks.
Also common problem is that still tons of people believe agile means unplanned. This definitely also contributes to projects failing that are just agile by name.
