How is it not because of regulation? Robocalls are illegal in Germany and there are very high fines. That seems exactly what regulation is supposed to do and I never got a single random robocall. I got a few calls from my ISP for marketing reasons but after telling them not to call me they added me to the list and I haven't heard from them since. I probably allowed to call me when I signed up.

German regulation does exactly nothing to prevent foreign criminals from spamming Germans with robocalls from foreign numbers, Germans just aren’t an attractive target.
