I realized that seemed to be the case as I read further down the thread after commenting.
It's definitely quite strange to most of us from the US.
I've never been to South America... Central America, but even that was a very long time ago... Before smartphones and apps.
There's a lot of little things like that, that are very different here and we just take for granted without thinking twice. I'm in Argentina and have noticed a ton of stuff like this.
A random example is there's a handle next to the stove where you close the gas line when it's not in use. They don't just have an always on supply of naturals gas ready to leak from the burner if you accidentally twist the knob.
Another one is the freezer will seal itself shut for about 15 seconds after being opened. I thought it was broken the first time I experienced this and tried forcing it open.
