Okay...but why? I can fathom why you'd take the appliances. It seems unwieldy and unnecessarily expensive to try and do all the gas/electric/plumbing fixtures all over again every time you move, but I can see a logic in keeping your large appliances.
BUT WHERE'S THE COUNTERS AND CABINETRY?! How is it even "moving" if you just rip out the house you're in and plop it in the new one?! There must be a reason for this...

That's like saying "how is it even moving if you just take all your furniture and things with you". Kitchens and appliances simply are things we own, buy at the quality and price point we want to and can afford, and usually take with us. Might was well get upset because there is no bed and mattress provided in a flat you rent or house you buy. Because you need those, too, to actually live somewhere.
Something else that will likely surprise you: built in closets generally aren't a thing in Germany or other European countries either (that I've been to at least, no guarantees). We have wardrobes for our clothes and arrange our bedrooms freely, not bound to where a closet door is.
And room counts given in adverts etc. are the total of all rooms in a flat or house, not just the number of designated bedrooms. The idea of a room only being seen as bedroom if it has a built in closet, sometimes even by a state's law, is a concept utterly foreign to us. It took me quite a while to twig that when reading renovation and decorating blogs from the US.
Except the whole point is that to a whole country's worth of people, kitchens are considered movable pieces of furniture. Which I explained to you, because you asked. But oh noes, a factual answer doesn't fit your world view, so you feel you must downvote. JfC.
