Most of us would not buy a new dishwasher sight unseen, and I've never seen a Bloomberg, or an Arecelik dishwasher. If I can see it in a local showroom, then I might consider ordering one on-line. But even Bosch DW's with water softeners are hard to find locally, in person.
I've also noted that none of these websites allow one to filter search results by water softener status. So you have to wade through a lot of choices and then drill down to the specs, and if you're lucky they'll list whether or not the DW has a built in water softener.
Perhaps it's because the USA generally has softer water than Europe, apparently.
Here in California, the water hardness seems to vary seasonally. Our four year drought has also seemed to result in harder water. After a month of heavy rains, I suspect the water here is softer than it was before New Year's. Part of the fun of living in the Golden State.
