I suspect that a big part of this is that often, people don't actually  
"pick" a washing machine.  You use whatever came with the house or  
apartment.  If it happens to break within the time you live in that  
place, you MIGHT think about replacement type, but it's at least as  
likely to get replaced by some nameless entity without much thought in  
between owners/renters.
