As a foreigner, ICE was so great a decade ago when I went to Germany regularly. What happened to destroy this beacon of fine travel?

In Italy, our train system is notorious for being always late... They actually celebrate when they are on time, no joke

Internal Combustion Engine? Maybe you should try the train.

The other day I was supposed to take an ICE, which was canceled, and all the next ones as well for that day. So they had replacement buses. 4 per train... which means that when i arrived at 11.30 for my "train-bus" replacement, the 4 buses that left were from the 9.30 slot. By the time the buses for the 10.30 slot arrived, there were people from the 12.30 train there. You can imagine I gave up and did not go.

At least it arrives. Not like in Siegburg/Bonn where they just pass through if they are late.

Come on, if you were in Minneapolis, you'd be happy about that. Ok, ok, I'll let myself out.

Read up on your passenger rights! With more than 20mins (projected) delay, your "Zugbindung" ends and you can take any other ICE to your destination. If your delay is more than an hour, you get a 25% refund, if it's over 2 hours the refund is 50%. If you miss any following trains, need to take a taxi or need to stay in a hotel because of the delay, DB will refund you the cost of that as well. You're also entitled to a free drink in the train at some point, I don't know the specifics of that off the top of my head though

Indeed! For example, the Tōkaidō high speed line between Tokyo and Osaka runs almost 400 trains every day with an average delay of about 12 seconds 🤯 Bear in mind that this is just the high speed service (Shinkansen). There is also a parallel line for local trains.
