TBF, over 15 in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support
Those “valves” are, in fact, thermostats. They use thermal expansion of wax to open/close the valve to get to their set temperature. Settings 1-5 are 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 Celsius.

In the Netherlands, almost all houses have a thermostat. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have one

Yes, but they are not electronic and they don’t reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.
