The f does "legally speaking" mean here. You aren't a lawyer, and no, people often don't get charged as foreigners. That's how public healthcare works

Legally speaking as in the laws are very clear. You don't need to be a lawyer to know what the laws are, especially when it is plastered over every single official page discussing travel and visiting.

You need to be insured or you're liable for the costs of treatments in Germany.

People absolutely get charged as foreigners. In German healthcare you always need a "Kostenträger", but for EU citizens they will instead charge the national health insurance which then takes care of settling it with your home insurance scheme, so it might seem invisible for you.
