I think you may be conflating "nice" with "different". Also, you seem to be forgetting that taste and/or style is personal and subjective, at least here in the US. Remember this country is huge, and design/architecture runs the gamut from traditional/colonial, cape cod, Tuscan, ranch, territorial, Spanish, adobe, minimalist, hard contemporary, you name it. Trust me, we have plenty of "nice" homes here with very contemporary/modern design and architecture (to include kitchens).
We just have a fairly wide range of other styles as well, as opposed to only one "accepted" style. It would be pretty boring/stale if there were only one version of "nice" IMO. YMMV I guess...
