You’ve hit the nail on the head. I think it was less about having a virtual newsroom etc and more how far fetched and naff the news sets looked. Some of the regional ARD sets over the years have been atrociously bad and - above all else - tacky!
The key with any news set is to keep it simple and useful. Avoid it becoming the story. ITV have achieved this.
At the time of the change, RTL pretty much stated that it felt unusual championing real news and hitting out at fakery while apparently presenting the news from something resembling a space ship over Berlin.
