It's a community meme that started with this build, which got upvoted into space for... some reason. This then spawned a whole trend of "German _" from people trying to achieve the same level of absurdity. I have no idea why the original was named that, but that's where it comes from.
kids at school actually having to pay attention and interact with their teachers and each other instead of staring at their magic light bricks all day? truly tragic...
FACT: Videogames are meant to be played for fun.
FACT: In many cases, fun is subjective.
EXTRAPOLATION: If you are having fun playing a videogame, and your fun does not prevent someone else from having fun, this is OK.
CONCLUSION: Build whatever and however you want. If people like it, great! If not, you still had fun making it.
Edit: Also, the guy who left that comment would like me to let you know that he wants to apologize and clarify what he meant, because it sounds like whatever was said came off a lot more harshly than was intended.
yooo fellow rolling line enjoyer
Yeah I've seen those on the workshop too (posted by steam username Shipwrecked, dunno if they have a SP website account or not but if so it's under a different name). They even state in the descriptions that they were built in SP, no surprise there.
(honestly it's not that great to do because the SP exporter keeps all of the internal geometry that Rolling Line doesn't need, so the mesh optimization is kinda bad, but eh)
I go to a cool place now called "my job" where they pay me money to do work. The downside is that I have four hours of free time a day instead of like fourteen, and I also play other videogames (shockingly).
I am doing stuff in the SP2 playtest though, which is pretty cool (you should wishlist it on Steam, it helps the devs if more people do).
Ye must certainly have made a grave mistake indeed to receive such a warning. Be alert, the seas in those parts be mighty unfriendly to uninvited intruders. Yarr.
@AviationLoverGEEK444 re: the road thing
One of the generals CSPAN had on for commentary mentioned that really the only risk of damaging the roads would be if/when the tanks had to turn or neutral steer, and that they'd put down inch-thick steel plates at all the likely locations where that might happen so that the pavement wouldn't be damaged.

@NTH Good thing literally every single staff member still has either a phone or a radio in case of emergencies.

+1sounds like it's working as intended based on the name
insanity is in fact being formed
everything in sp is stop motion if your frame rate is low enough

@Boeing727200F nah that's just a quirk of rolling line, all the mesh files need to be, like, the size of actual model trains (i.e. very little)
