I don‘t seem to get the point of this comment, but the reason for this is that the EU Commission has assigned this project to Deutsche Telekom and SAP, two German companies (as is explained in the README).
Side note: we're so generous that I hear of Americans here in Berlin who are getting the pass too by showing their American vaccination documents and a proof of residence in Germany. Meaning: the system is solid, but surprisingly flexible.
It has cost 4.3M euros and have detected 76.115 people, which amounts to 420 DKK or 56 euros per person.
To me that sounds quite expensive and not like a success.

I don’t have the numbers but my gut feeling says that 56€ is a bargain.
If the number of infections that were not detected are double the 300.000, then we are fast approaching 10% of all infections detected.
But anyway Denmark spend 60 times the budget for the app on testing each month in 2021, so it's pennies the app has cost.
But i still think it worthwhile to know what the taxpayers get for their money.
By that logic, we should start selling hand sanitizer for 100 euros, and soap for 50 euros, right?
Obviously the idea that something should not be evaluated by how efficiently was produced but solely by how much it was needed is a recipe for absolute disaster and cost bloat. Seat belts will go for 10,000 euros in that world.
But i find this wording very ominous, as i sincerely hope it will be sunset way earlier than 2022.

Android or iOS will certainly not see too much health data of mine. Kudos to those working on it for free, but I don't really like to use the results.
