Actually it's a filter, keeping those away from doing business who aren't able to handle little annoyances. I often hear people complain about (German) bureaucrazy and funding difficulties and they say "I just want to do X". But the bitter truth is: If one isn't able to overcome those barriers, they'll probably won't handle their business at all if they can't manage the many little annoyances that don't have to do with X but will occur while doing business. At first my answer was meant to be a joke, but the longer I think about it... :) The good news are: Since you seem to be able to manage those barriers, you're fine and can care about doing X.
