Apparently the government needs a two-thirds majority to pass this kind of law, which usually means that some part of the opposition needs to vote for a law proposed by the government. The two-thirds majority requirement might be due to WW2, but the real issue is that the then-opposition would literally rather have a foreign country continuously violate our airspace than give one crumb to the other side. I doubt the CDU (then opposition, now government leader) actually had much issue with the content of the law.
Also, for a long time this kind of thing just wasn’t necessary. I doubt the sowjets were regularly flying military jets into West German airspace.
