The NetzDG only applies to platforms, and only to ones above 2 million users.

Yes but what is a "platform"? And if you define a user as someone who connects to your servers, Hetzner certainly has more than 2M.

The questions here are rhetorical. It doesn't matter what we think the answers are. The penalties are so huge that if there's even a tiny chance of a judge disagreeing with you, then you have to take measures to avoid the risk.
