Germany voluntarily divested from Russian gas for political reasons. If Germany was run by more amoral "rationally greedy" business men I'm sure Russia would have happily kept selling energy to them despite the war.

It's probably why a certain someone sabotaged the nordstream gas pipelines, to make sure Germany's moral compass would not falter in the future - as its economy inevitably gets worse without cheap Russian oil and gas.
