Yes but they hide that as much as possible.
If you are extremely lucky, there is a review for that model somewhere that isn’t just paid advertising, but outside of the US with less-used models, that is pretty much a fantasy.
For example, even on the most expensive 1400€ Series 8 models Bosch (traditionally one of the best quality washers in the EU) now instead of a drum with bolts and a gasket, plastic welds their drum covers so it doesn’t last as long, breaks at the seam, and is almost impossible to repair correctly.

Yeah dawg, I think you’re just not very good at researching your appliances. Put a little time in to learn to sniff out bots and find reviews that aren’t advertisements. Look at 4 star reviews. I hate to say it, but look at reddit; it’s a legitimately great research resource for that kind of thing if you can recognize ads.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of touchscreen WiFi bullshit out there to spend stupid money on, but there are a few diamonds in the rough if you’re willing to look.
I can’t speak to outside the US in terms of exact models, but the techniques transfer. Don’t trust brand names, find reviews of specific models.The internet is full of dorks who go on forums to geek out on appliances, you just have to find them.
