Update: I meditate on the whole question of the water heater while taking a cold shower the other night. Brrrrr.
Why are we so far behind the Europeans? 45 years ago I visited friends in Germany. They had a small box on the wall over the kitchen sink that provided hot water in a minute or two with the flip of a switch. They were amazed that I had never seen this before. I had to say, "Oh, in the U.S. we prefer to heat 50 gallons of water to wash the dishes and keep the water hot all day just in case."

Because in America, we may not use it but it's nice to have.
What you're referring to in Germany absolutely exists in America—point of service water heaters—but I think American homes typically have more rooms with water than European (multiple bathrooms, washrooms, etc.).
