Those people don't understand that a lot of "german" manufacturing is happening in low cost countries. The bulk of the manufacturing remaining in Germany is highly automated. I suspect it's mostly an optics/ignorance issue. If you never set foot into a modern factory, you could legitimately believe that german industry had not changed, simply because it's the same names as decades ago. But once you get the chance to take a peek behind the curtains, you quickly realized how high-tech those "dinosaurs" are.
