I understand the psychological aspect, but I mean if you live near a major airport, 4000 Euro buys a whole lot of weekend trips via budget airlines all over Eur

  But the friction is even higher with air travel. The beauty of BC100 is the spontaneity of just getting on a train and not having to think about tickets (or queue for security). There used to be a "Deutschlandpass", pretty much a one-month version of BC100 during summer, that cost some 300€ for young people. I did that with friends a few years back and it was great. We'd do tons of spontaneous things. You know that thing where most exchange students have been to more places in your own country than you've been? That ticket was the best (and cheapest) way to fix that :)

    The Deutschlandpass doesn't exist anymore? I remember a friend using the hell out of one in 2013.

      They didn't offer it this year. Instead there was a "Sommer-Ticket", 4 rides for 96€ for ≤ 26 yr olds, which doesn't even come close. Compared to the 269€ (349€ for >26yrs) that the Deutschlandpass cost, and considering how much I used mine in 2013 (26 out of the 30 days, about half of which more than one ride), that's not even funny.
