And yet every time there’s a delay in one of those connections, it’s DB that’s at fault, and somehow never the rail companies it interconnects with.

If what you say is true and Germany is uniquely more interconnected than other European countries (which I don’t buy, btw), then you still have cause and effect backwards: the interconnection makes the impact of delays worse, it doesn’t cause them. The delay ultimately happens in a single place and then has knock-on effects, but the place it starts is usually inside Germany.
