They are common not only in the US. I would not want to miss it - it would seriously degrade my joy in cooking if I had to spend as long on cleaning as on cooking.

Wow, that kind of blows my mind to think about, cleaning is often the longest part of preparing and eating food for me. I hate doing it and I will choose what I'm cooking and how to cook it based on the dishes in prepared food to wash up.

My partner once asked why the carrots I cook are always chipped in a rustic style ....because I'm not dirtying a chipping board for a carrot, I fruit ninja that shit.

But I've come to find the cleaning up therapeutic, it makes me feel like the process is over, it's a sense of completion and a job well done.

That said, it's only therapeutics when it's my dishes, and I've got a clean kitchen. If I'm working around, or expected to deal with someone else's dishes, I'm having a protein shake for dinner, because I will lose my temper at inanimate object trying to cook in someone else's mess or having to do 2-3 loads of dishes so I can eat 1 meal.
