It is a legal requirement for TV services in Europe, so it isn't surprising.

That said, Amazon.de's Prime Video has a lot of German TV series and Euro films. I don't know if it reaches the quota level or not, but it isn't as if they don't have any local content.

What's the betting they'd just cut the amount of stuff EU citizens can see from America?

They will just by x hundred hours of very cheap day time soap from Spain or somewhere and so will have the required 20% of EU content that no one will watch
