Over those 13 or 14 years, the entire German league has become stronger, unlike the Italian league. Just look at the stadiums, attendance rates, results, etc.
Over the last 3 years alone, we've had 3 German finalists, 1 winner.
The 10 preceding years, we've had 2 German finalists, 0 winners.
So this basically contradicts the exact point you're trying to make. Spin it any way you like, a strong league is just better for all teams involved.
Edit: let's just move to France.
