In Germany there was basically 20 years of "digital is the future, so voting has also to be digital" in media, politics etc. However, because Germany is a digital laggard, it just never happened, which is why the waiting time was long enough for the opinion to change enough that nowadays digital voting is not even in discussion.

See, sometimes waiting solves problems. So, TL;DR America was too quick with digital voting, which is why it became entrenched. Should've been laggards like Germany.
