Not sure where you live but where I live no one takes the kitchen cabinets when they move (us here.)

I am in Germany. Here people are very weird about kitchens when renting (medium to long-term, not with stuff like student apartments) and often do rip out their kitchen even if they don't plan on keeping it unless the next renter pays them for it, if anything that got a bit better in the last few years as people have been raising awareness how wasteful that is.

I don't know of people bringing kitchen cabinetry during moves either, just the occasional kitchen remodeling.

What I went on about was the logical extreme of this kind of moving behavior. The kitchen and bathroom are the two places left in a house where things tend to stay put, built in.

What taladar said about a lot of Germans tearing out kitchens for no reason sounds absolutely ridiculous and I really hope that stops.
