  1. It requires well build windows. I guess for many American houses that would be an upgrade in quality besides the extra feature, which isn't cheap either. So for Germans and other Western-Europeans it's only like 50% more expensive than a regular window, whil for Americans that would be 300% for example. That's probably why they haven't seen it before.

  2.  @Matruchus  But this is a Drehkippfenster, that opens in two directions. That only spread widely in the past 20 years.

  3. I have windows like that, 10 varying in size and big ones, and in wood. It's not cheap. It's durable but replacing one would easily be 1500 euro's, without labour. A mechanism like that can only be done well with good materials or it won't keep working.
