Unfair?
Perhaps not.
I don’t know why, but for some reason the term “German Expressionist” just looked amusingly contradictory, like “Prussian Eroticism.” Of course the Germans are very good at making expressive music, sometimes overly so. But you don’t think of them as an expressive people. Hence it comes out in adagios, or blitzkriegs.
