You missed quite a lot in German politics. This is no longer true, in fact Habeck already said couple times that if nuclear would still be an option they would do it. Unfortunately it is not, yet every discussion on HN about German energy policy eventually gets back to bashing Greens for „their nuclear policy“. You‘d better ask Merkel and CDU why they decided to shut down nuclear plants faster and build NS2.
Words are cheap, and it's easy to lie about "oh, the decommissioning process has started, we just can't back out".
It's not true. If you look at their "analysis", it has gems like "fuel might be more expensive in the future".
If Russia turned off their NG and oil, Germany could absolutely keep those plants running for decades, with minimal or no safety risk.
