Based on world bank data and taking into account PPP[1], UK real gdp rose 14% from 2010 to 2021. Belgium, Germany, Netherlands were up 15%. Norway 18%, Switzerland 19%, Denmark 20%, Sweden 25%. The UK was close to the EU average.
Results are similar if you ignore PPP. [2]
I’m not really sure where your numbers came from but I assume the ranking is a bit sensitive to the time boundaries (ie recovery from gfc and pandemic) so I don’t know how relevant it would be even if I had found the same results as you.
I found the uk looks a bit better for growth from 2010 to 2019, which ignores some pandemic recovery failures mentioned in the OP and Germany’s larger 2009-2010 growth.
