Germany is at big fault here (their rating board are just scare tactics), but also Sony, they were the ones that decided to uncensor a pretty lame violence, not German laws, they are only trying to cover their asses.
It's surprising that Sony is even worse than Nintendo in this aspect. Theyve been censoring lot of games lately (they dont even try to submit the whole version to the german rating board, they just cut it before that happens), TLOU, God of War, Twisted Metal and Beyond.
It's probably saving them costs if the german rating board tells them to change something.
Nope. GTA has worse violence and is still uncensored, heck many games are much worse than TLOU and they are completly uncensored. As I said, they are just covering their asses (like No More Heores did the first time, as the second came uncensroed in europe), and wrongly so because this would probably not be censored.
PC european version is NOT censored. South Park is also not censored for its violence but from some pretty hard sex scenes ironically. Also all the swastikas were removed in Germany (and I suppose the hitler's rally voice clip).
The violence in that game remains unchanged.

The German version of the game needs to be censored. As they and many other lazy companies have done before they can't be arsed to release two versions in Europe so everybody gets the shit one. Same thing happened with South Park recently.
