I don't know whether it's a reason for size ("one market" isn't just about taxes, it's also about culture and language, and that's more different in the EU than the US), but it definitely makes companies more risk-averse towards expansion and disadvantages people with non-average backgrounds. The risk your CV suggests (e.g. mental health, unemployment, non-traditional career) gets multiplied if it's close to impossible to fire you.

Personally I think the model in Brazil is the best one, you can be fired at any time but you always get severance with the value of the severance dictated by how long you been at the company (I think it was 1 month of salary per year of tenure). It does create some problems but not nearly as bad.
