Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Your reasoning also applies to the bathroom. Or is it only a wet room for you when you can walk through it with a water hose like in a slaughterhouse?
The fact is, a kitchen produces moisture, and not insignificantly so. It ranks directly second after the bathroom, followed by the bedrooms, then the living areas, and lastly the storage spaces.
Apart from the moisture & plaster issue, we find lime-cement plaster appealing. It may be more expensive in terms of equity, but overall it is cheaper than lime-gypsum plaster due to easier, faster handling with less rework involved. Additionally, the plaster relatively well conceals small "flaws."
