I am surprised that there isn't open source alternatives to Simulink, Stateflow etc. One reason Matlab is popular in academia and industry is because someone who don't know C/C++ (mechanical engineers etc.) can use something

Germany is terribly backwards when it comes to IT. It's insane that such a backward country should have that much say on EU regulations. I'm not kidding. Countries like Denmark and Estonia are light-years ahead of Germany in terms

You're forgetting the "backed by the richest man in the world" benefit that Starlink will enjoy before any significant market correction happens.
