Most of my T-shirts survive this (and I love having things come right out nice and dry) but there are 100% cotton and 100% wool clothes that shrink. I try the lower temperatures but the only real sustainable way I found was to lose weight continuously so I can fit in them. The others I just send to the laundry guys. Don't know what they do but it usually comes back nice.

Considering how popular synthetics are these days, I suspect it's because they use small combo washer/dryers in Europe. Certainly my British washer/dryer combo did a good job.
