Even in cities where most people don't frequently cook and often subsist on eating out, takeout, and delivery, I don't think most people would choose to completely get rid of their kitchens.
That being said, this is an interesting thought-experiment and I'd certainly like to see more experimentation with non-traditional houses, tiny houses and microhouses, apartments, and living spaces.
Especially for young people just out of college and looking for inexpensive housing in big cities, I'd think apartment complexes that were more like college dorms with lots of built-in facilities that take care of tasks for you like cooking/laundry would be appealing to many.
Unfortunately however, I think that in many locations certain things are mandated into legislation that would prevent or at least make this kind of experimentation legally challenging. There's probably housing code in most regions that would make a kitchen-less home impossible to legally construct. This kind of legislation ostensibly exists to protect people, but as many people increasingly realize, often does the opposite.
