There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don't need to see what's in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

You don't need to see what's going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines

Explains why I distrust that suspicious dishwasher

They could add that sliding cover which plane windows have

It is also nice to see if one of the spinners is blocked. Saved me quite a few batches.
