Not that surprising. The German mainstream news landscape is dominated by transatlantic interests. Pretty much all German politicians, and journalists, of "relevance" are members in some pro-US NGO [0] or another, often even several of them. Der Spiegel used to be one of thew few wider reaching left-leaning exceptions, they even published Snowden's first interview internationally back in 2013. But over the years they went trough a slow transformation; They've become noticeably less critical of the US, completely ignoring any further developments around Snowden or Assagne, while ramping up on anti-Russian news. Why is nobody there reaching out to people like Nils Melzer, as Swiss Republik.ch did? [1] If Der Spiegel would have published something like that, it would have reached a far wider audience, could maybe even made some actual waves.
