And deterring services that are unable to observe fundamental rights while being able to monetise it is bad how? As said, the law provided an exception for neutral (!) providers, not for platforms that factually control the content.
If you want the control over the content, it comes with duties

Did it though? Or are some companies just pushing this line because they are losing a legal privilege that isn’t warranted anymore for a problematic business model?

Exactly the point, in particular German academia is taking a very unrealistic stance on what the CJEU will decide and following their advice sets you up for failure.

To understand this a bit better, that’s the federal German government saying the federal government should have more power - not entirely unexpected. Last time this bid failed because the states were like “uhhh, nah”.
