#13Huh, I wonder why... maybe they noticed they have a lot of gamers as employees? Maybe the work in the railway business attracts gamers in particular? To kill the mood, maybe it's a bad idea considering one DB signalman was distracted by a phone game and let 2 trains into one train segment heading into each other: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36025951
The page takes about two different programs. The first section only talks about benefits like LAN parties and tournaments as part of your 'Ausbildung' or training. The scholarship can apply if you work for them part time. Looks like it's primarily a recruitment tactic.

They've been doing this for two years

Being a victim (some say: customer) of the Deutsche Bahn (with bahn.comfort black status): I sincerely believe they can not. After 40 years of ignoring maintenance, never setting up the East-German rail system for success, I honestly believe the system is broken beyond repair. What is indicative of that is that they believe they can make the Deutschlandtakt work by (no typo!) 2070.
We get what we have, and that's it.

There's no incentive for them to do so, so they won't.

Unfortunately, they realistically cannot. Basically every major infrastructure project gets loads of local opposition which would require substantial political will. However, the currently elected government is the government that let the rail infrastructure get that bad in the first place

#20They should name their team DNS because that is what will be shown on scoreboards of all tournaments to which their players will have to travel with DB anyway.
Their reliability is so abysmal that I fly multi-hop flights from Berlin or to airports a few hundred miles off my destination if that allows me to not rely on them. Boats that go up and down the Amazon have not let me down the way DB reliably did.
