Just so you know, feddit.org is a German instance, so your interlocutor is probably German as well.

And the shutters are certainly not common outside of Germany. I've not had them at any place I've lived in Australia, Korea, or Vietnam. Same with that famous German double-opening window. It's fantastic, and the rest of the world should adopt them, but should does not mean has.

Technically feddit.org is a German speaking instance - it's operated/owned/managed in Austria.

I wouldn't have been too surprised if having rolling shutters was only uncommon in other countries. But the fact they aren't ubiquitous in Germany was a genuine surprise. It's as if there were regions without those windows you mentioned - which do exist apparently in the North according to Wikipedia.
