Personally, I feel it's a two sided coin....

On one side of the coin, The .de would be the dominant higher value version in Germany and other regions that leverage the .de extension on a local/national level.

On the other side of the coin, expats and immigrants in other countries who speak German, but no longer have ties to Germany, may lean more on the .com version if they are now residing or doing business in a region that favors the .com gTLD more than a ccTLD.

I think it really boils down to the end users location, culture and nationality as to where their personal demand and value with be.
