If you install the baseboards afterwards, you simply glue them a bit behind the cabinets, as far as you can reach. You can't see that. The cabinets should stick out a bit anyway. And you have to splice at every wall anyway. Or do you have baseboards that are 4 to 5 meters long?

Have fun. No idea what kind of baseboards you have glued, clicked, or screwed. I fixed mine fully on the wall for hours so they would hold there.
The wall is not 100% straight, the baseboard is not 100% straight. If you screw or click them, you can forget about that completely behind the cabinets anyway. Or you fudge something together... not really my thing ;)

Sure, it works. But it looks like nothing really finished.

Especially since I could still understand that with parquet, it works, as real wood still moves quite a bit...
But vinyl? That’s plastic, nothing else. What could possibly move so insanely that you’d have to wait with the baseboards? Even my laminate upstairs has hardly moved since March...

That’s why. Do yourself a favor and finish the rooms while they are still empty and you don’t live in them yet.
Everything else is unnecessary stress... some people like that... I don’t.

Solid vinyl expands more under sunlight than any parquet. But that's not really the point; that's what the expansion joint is for. It's more about the screed tending to settle again during the first year. Then the skirting board is suspended in the air and any sealing compound used may crack.

And in this case, it is actually about the possibly too high residual moisture in the screed, which is supposed to be able to escape.

I just had a house built with straight walls ;).
But seriously, then you took the wrong adhesive.
We took the baseboards that match the parquet. Put mounting adhesive on, pressed to the edge, done.
We did it immediately, and I would advise everyone NOT to do it immediately. The screed settled and now I have more or less large gaps between the parquet and the baseboard that I still have to close.

Correct, that was the case for us and was fixed a few days ago by the house manufacturer (prefabricated house with timber frame construction). The owner/master of the company responsible for laying the tiles etc. did it himself and also told us that he gets paid separately by the house manufacturer for the replacement because the sealing compound tears in every (?) house due to the movement of the screed, and every one of his invoices states that no warranty is provided for this.

He also works for a second prefabricated house company and told us that this company does not offer baseboards in tiles (like ours), but only baseboards are allowed that do not require sealing compound to avoid the above-mentioned situation. However, in that case the floor at the baseboards is not so sealed and if a bucket of water is ever spilled or the dishwasher leaks, the water quickly reaches "the timber studs." At least, that's roughly how I understood it.
