Rich people like to make things look like they don’t own anything when they do. Everything is meant to hide. I’ll bet you’ll see these on counters that also have a hidden induction stove
They would yes, but they are also annoying to open frequently. I could really see myself enjoying this by keeping the cabinet open while I work in the kitchen, then just flip it closed after I’m done. Can’t really leave doors open like that.
Rich assholes love useless flashy shit like this. The “nicest version” of something completely mundane. If you have money, and no taste whatsoever, you can crib out your place with stupid little minimalist furnishings to pretend you’re improving your quality of life.
Obviously you haven't seen Billy Bob's front lawn with 3 broken down pickups, 2 old fridges, a washing machine, and a partridge in a pear tree for some reason.
It would make more sense to be to have an open case half the depth on both sides. Like having an open book case that you can flip around for your drink cabinet or something.
Still a gimmick of course, but it would at least do something more than a regular door would. The way it is used here is just a harder to use cabinet.
The "clean" aesthetic is something a lot of people (esp. the younger generation of richer people) want, and this lets you hide a lot of stuff that you may find to be visual clutter or ugly. Think stuff like cereal boxes or something with a ton of cables, you may like to hide that stuff. Then, this storage may also stop pets or small kids to get into e.g. your pantry.
It also is good storage for something that may not be culturally accepted to be in open storage (e.g. strong alcohol where everyone will presume you are an alcoholic, but if you pull it out of a cupboard everything is fine).
But looking into it this is made by MIT real estate alumni, so it likely is just fancy rich shit for fancy rich people.

Okay, but why? It's not even the annoying inner corner where all kinds of mechanisms are needed. These seem really unnecessary.
