No disagreement on the weird reasoning from me, but I don't think the part about the laws is true. gesetze-im-internet.de is, according to their Impress, run by the ministry of justice.
Edit: not directly related but a fun fact: in Switzerland you can get a copy of the constitutional laws for free at any bookstore and it’s supposed to be understandable for normal citizens and not only for lawyers.
They also mention it on the gesetze-im-internet website: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/hinweise.html
It seems that the Austrian way is much better though.
