People will do Bosch or Miele appliances because it sounds good in a real estate listing, but that’s relying on the cachet of a known brand.
I looked at a condo once with an interesting sort of art deco kitchen on and a custom refrigerator that fit the theme. My first thought was, it’s got to be hell to get parts for that or find someone who knows how to work on it.
Sub Zero and Wolf is also the US “sounds good in a real estate listing” and with prices to match. You can easily be over $10k for a fridge or freezer!
Worse is the warranty: we had an LED strip behind the crisper drawer fail after about 3 years and it was “Sorry; you’re out of warranty, that will be $220 in parts and $260 in labor”.
