They literally do! https://i.imgur.com/gCDuZZM.png

Rather than jumping into this whole thing in the middle, I'll ask you to begin from the beginning, catch up on what you missed on (the two earlier Technology Connections that were made before the submission article), so we can at least have the same base-level understanding of the situation first, then you can come back and we can argue the entire day.

I have a high end euro-style Bosch, largely seen as one of the best washers out there. No indication in the manual of running hot water. In fact the manual shows the temperatures that all the different cycles run at, and the "pre-rinse" cycle does not show a temperature. The manual also doesn't say to add any detergent other than the main cycle and recommends pacs. Its always at the top of industry testing, so I am thinking a random YouTuber might not be correct here.
They literally don't. it's not in my manual and not in manual cheapest LG and GE machines that are currently available for sale

This screenshot is seems to be from manual of Frigidaire FDB520RHB or something similar that was discontinued 12 years ago or so.

Some of the programs of this dishwasher will heat water as needed, and in addition there is a button "hot wash".

showing manual of 20 years old machine today as proof for how machine should be operated it's just like arguing with todays doctor using 300 years old medical books.

things changed.
