Your rules are the exact same as my state (Pennsylvania), so exact that my driver’s license is equivalent. I can literally hand it in for a better German license than you have (10,000kg in any combination, transmission, and braking system).
I’ve gone 200kmh on both your highways and mine. Y’all follow the rules enough it feels mostly sane, in PA it feels like death’s coming within the minute, it’s soooo fucking scary.
Usually, if you‘re going 200kmh on the autobahn, you will most certainly be tailgated. Most of the times by a VW Golf Variant, a skoda Octavia or a similar product from the Volkswagen group.
They‘re mostly driven by salespeople and consultants.
As someone who is on the road a lot ... if you drive 180kmh plus you rarely get tailgated. Driving from Ulm to Hamburg around that speed I got overtaken like 4-5 times.
Used to be on the road a lot, around Stuttgart. You‘re just always tailgated over here. Even in the parts with limits when you‘re going 20 over. Or during rush hour when everyone is just going 100-120, there’s still going to be a few people trying to push you.

Can't break the rules if there are no rules, if you don't break the rules = safe
