Germany, in particular is one of the worst places for tech start ups isn't it? https://startups.co.uk/best-european-cities-for-startups/ https://startups.co.uk

  According to some very weird methodology which looks like they decided beforehand which cities they want to have on top and then build a methodology to ensure it happens.

    I'd read somewhere else that start-up costs in Germany are prohibitive vs. just about anywhere else in Europe, but I can't find that article. Personal experience trumps that of a journalist though.

  It's probably a matter of personal opinion and choice and opportunity. Berlin has a tech startup sector (supposedly) almost as big as London. So whether it's a good place to start a company may not matter: if it is where all the jobs are, and I need a job then I'm there. I do Fintech, so I'm looking at a niche of startups. That pushes me to Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris and Zurich as those are the (non London) finance hubs in the EU. But if I saw a job where I could work remotely or where they were based elsewhere, I'd go elsewhere. I actually just started working remotely for a company technically incorporated in London. So once I pass probation etc, I may go to Germany to master my German. But as you indicate, I'd find a place with good work life balance and low costs and opportunities that suit me. Not just blindly walk to Berlin. :)
