It’s a weird contrast between Germanic language German and Germanic language English

I wonder if it comes from Gaelic languages

Germanic language Dutch only has "de" and "het"

We should absolutely steal it. All the different articles serve no linguistic purpose at all. You could literally just use "de" and "en" in German today, and it'd be perfectly understandable.
