If there's one thing Germans love, it's following rules. Everyone knows to return the watering cans, so the watering cans are returned.
It is quite telling about the Dutch that despite having a deposit system on the cans they're essentially useless anyway as people have stolen the roses from the spouts.

they don't return the shopping carts though, why do grocery stores in Germany need a deposit then if everyone likes following rules there

Because it was a joke about the Germans supposed love of rules and rule following. It's almost like it can be acceptable for one European national to joke about the habits of other European nationals.
