    I see your wheel argument but want to add cabinet/closet doors to muddy the waters. My non-representative bathroom has 6 doors and no wheels. Then there are developing countries that often don’t have wheels on their drawers and doors and rely on hinges more.

      But they can have cars, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, hand carts, carts pulled by animals, and more. Does a doorway need to have a door on it to be a door? I kinda figured it sorta does, and probably in developing countries they might have curtain covers for cabinet doors rather than solid hinged ones. Not sure though.

        It really depends on the country I’ve been to latin America and most people there have doors on their cabinets from what I’ve seen. Wood and labor there come pretty cheap. We’d need to get a good idea of an average house in India and China to make an educated guess.

        One thing I’m pretty sure about is that there are more wheels being created now than doors.
