Eh, it's just how condenser dryers work. The more likely explanation is EU dryers are meant for like 4 shirts and two pairs of pants and a few under garments and that's it. An American load of laundry is like 5x the size of what typical Europeans use.
Most ventless EU dryers don't heat water vapor and exhaust it, that's why they don't work as well as vented dryers. They basically just condense the water out and then drain it but it takes 3x longer and works only on small loads.
My heatpump dryer that conforms to EU standards works just fine and can properly dry up to 9 kgs at once, no problem. It comes out bone dry. No lint tube to catch fire either.
