I guess I don't really get what is meant by 'expectations' on a country-wide scale. The US is massive and has loads of people in it.
Like, there's NYC and SF and then there's rural Kansas. There's people earning $10k a year and people earning $10M.
In the UK we don't have any sort of national expectation from what I can tell. I have friends living in house shares, in apartments, in houses, and in really big houses, they all have different kitchens, obviously they do. You get what you can afford, having an expectation is meaningless.
If there's some sort of building code that says fridges have to be massive, then yeah, that's bloody stupid, but that's not specifically a kitchen issue, that's just anti-poor law.
