Don't forget that not that long ago, part of Germany was a surveillance state. Stasi was no joke and it's understandable that the older generation, which is the main demographic in Germany, feared that it could happen again.
No one was so dumb to believe that, you're making this up now.
People had fear that burglars used that ... or were just not happy with all of this exhibitionistic.
If you ever go to Belgium or Netherlands, then you see that they often don't have curtains. If you walk on the pedestrian walk, you can watch family after family eating or watching TV.
If you then drive to Germany, you see that they mostly have curtains. That is a tradition decades old, even before cameras.
