What cheeses me off

Yes. I suppose HDB flats have limited space for such appliances and eating out is quite cheap, and many used to or still have a maid. But its becoming more common. - some are single drawer and countertop form factors

Now,
Whats with the Australian hand dishwashing technique where after washing the plates, they are not rinsed. Instead of rinsing then stacking them to dry???

Not at our place.

Dunno. Never heard of it. A NSW thing?

First world judgements here...
I have seen this but not for a very long time , some places have only one sink and limited or no running water.
Washing up camp dishes is also a challenge for rinsing..
