There may be no import duties for computers but you will still need to pay VAT (19% for Germany) upon importing the device which may give you a hint why people try without declaring. 

Double VAT for failing to declare. 

Exactly - VAT is 19% for Germany - and 20% for Austria - and everybody here knows it 

So it is no "Surprise" - because it always had been like that for us in europe - regardless if it is a watch, pc, handbag - or vision pro ..

 And even if you make it once through customs without declaring - even years later you have to pay the fine, if you get caught - happened to many people, especially with expensive watches
