there is not relevant tracking there, there is no system of checking-in/out of a train
you can always just board the train without anyone checking your ticket, you are _trusted_ to have a valid ticket
then because people can not always be trusted from time to time some personal will check tickets for validity, potentially
but in practice most people get checked like once a month or so at most, it's semi-random so some are probably unlucky
Furthermore any statistic data collected from this checks is anonymized they don't remember that _you_ where checked there (if you ticked was valid).
Additionally checking costs money (personal cost) so the less likely you are to find a trespasser the less checking is done, i.e. with the 49€ ticket probably less checking will be done long term.
For longer reginal trips you are more like to be checked, but in practice this new tickets will give _less_ information to the DB and similar organziations. Because before for most regional ticket you brought either had already been explicit person bound or implicit throught he payment system with a specific start or end place listed on them. The ability to buy regional tickets with cash has been becoming increasingly more limited (e.g. because of nonsense like people trying to steal that cash by blowing up the ticket automata, creating a huge cost for a minimal profit).
