Sorry, but that's just not true. If someone's spending 5000-10000€ on a kitchen renovation, then it's quite worth it to spend a couple of hundred more on appliances that will last as long as the rest of the kitchen. With modern built-in appliances then you need to take that into account, unless you want to install new cupboards every 5 years because your dishwasher died.
They’re standard sizes and the mechanism to attach the built in doors to the appliances (where relevant) is also standardised. I’ve replaced built in fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens and hobs in my own homes over the years without needing to redo anything else.
What does annoy me though is that you have to pay a premium for appliances which are ‘built in’ over the equivalent model which is not built in, despite the built in version being less complicated (no door handles, for example).
