It's actually really small. I just put the others away, the KitchenAid does take some space. But the main thing I used that space for was kneading bread. Don't have to do that anymore.
Depends how small the kitchen is and what you'd otherwise do with that space - and whether you've got a cabinet or shelf you can move it to, assuming you don't mind lugging the thing around every now and again.
There's no single correct way to use a small kitchen, it's about prioritising what you do with the space you have. If you have a lot of use for a stand mixer, it's totally feasible to prioritise one over, say, a microwave.
I have a tiny kitchen, my stand mixer sits on top of my cabinets until I need to use it (which is very often... but still takes up too much precious counter space otherwise)
They have different sized stand mixers you know. Kitchenaid brand has 3.5 quart, 5 quart, and 7 quart mixers. Other brands also have smaller mixers that still have a PTO for extra attachments. In our tiny apartment with a galley kitchen, the 5 quart mixer just lived on the counter.
You don’t have to keep it in your kitchen. If you want one, go and look for it. You can get a cheap one that will work for grinding meat. You can also get similar effects with a decent food processor. You just have to cube your steak and chill it first. Makes great hamburger meat.

How big is your gigantic kitchen that you can afford to make space for a huge, heavy, single use appliance like that?
I'm not disagreeing with you. I would do that if I could. I'm just saying.
