It won't. Good luck employing people in Germany as a US company too - you really want at least a German subsidiary for that.

Sure. These are two different things. Liability protection and, let’s call it social acceptance. OP article suggests a UG as your personal holding company, which then owns the shares in the actual outward facing entity. That UG, I think, could be replaced by an Ltd. it’s easier and cheaper to set up, and insulates you against personal liability just as well as a UG or even a GmbH would.
Can't you work around this by using https://www.letsdeel.com/ or https://remote.com/?
In theory, you can't employ someone in Germany for longer than 18 months via an employer of record. If you want to employ someone for longer than that, you must have a German legal presence. This is one of the ways that Germany ensures that employee rights are actually enforceable.
Oh wow, I actually didn't know that.
