No I don't think you understand: before that kitchens generally looked very different and were much more dysfunctional. The reason you don't find it very spectacular from a 2024 perspective is because that kitchen design was so successful it changed how kitchens looked after it. So you will certainly find better (but also worse) kitchens today, but that kitchen design had a ton of impact on how things are looking today.
Before that the typical kitchen furniture were single freestanding objects, like this stove: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Frankfurt-Kitchen%2C_kitchen_stove_%282%29.jpg/440px-Frankfurt-Kitchen%2C_kitchen_stove_%282%29.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Fr...
But it is more than surface, Schütte-Lihotzky went and measured how long certain tasks were taking and optimized the layout and objects of the kitchen to minimize the waste of time, aomething that before that wasn't really a thing in residential kitchens.
