Seems like a self imposed problem, because you could clearly just write in English.

  Yes, but it is a shame. German language (and others) shouldn't have to miss out on cultural growth just because English is more popular. Authors not being able to eat is a problem.

    not to mention, writing in english means being unable to use a host of things that other languages have (and viceversa, of course).

    Do you think if there were more German language books being written, an audience for those books would develop? Is it just a chicken and egg problem?

      Don't know. Seems like a lot of work to learn a language for a certain genre, but it's entirely possible. (I've been interested in learning Polish for this reason).
