Trains in Europe are not magical and the best they could ever be.
They could be a lot better in a lot of ways. In Europe there is still a huge investment in car infrastructure. And while land use wasnt as bad as in the US its still far from optimal.
I do dislike the selling of these specific tickets. I much prefer a system where you can just take the train.
When I used the ICE in Germany I would never get a reservation, just a general ticket. So if I missed one it didnt matter.
