All that considering it cost 20 million euros to build this app.

This is a huge undertaking and budgeted accordingly.

Let's see in a year if this was a valuable investment of public money.
Honestly, aside from some demonstrations, when you look at how people behave, I think the tracing is almost a moot point again. Maybe it can be put to use when the next wave or pandemic hits, but currently everyone is behaving like normal again without using any app.
