You really hate Germans, don't you. I think you have Germanphobia.
Asking for a basic equivalence of education is just fairness. Flooding the market with cheap, "educated" (but not really) labor is not a solution.
I do think Germany could do better in accepting foreign degrees, but so could the US and Canada. I have worked with plenty of outsourced IT where they did obviously buy their degree. They had no clue of the language they were supposedly expert in.
And, yes, you will find misconduct somewhere at German universities, but there are countries where you can't trust the accreditation process of universities in general and you have to run a background check on the specific university someone attended.
What we do need though is German companies to realize that they need to have internationally attractive salaries to attract international talent. And we should enable equivalence checking of foreign degrees so that international talent can work here. It just shouldn't be done blindly.
