We do have a thing in the US called a micro fridge. College students will often get one for their dorm rooms.

For the biggest fridge you describe, the extra space is usually a freezer. If you are going to have a freezer anyway, it seems like an overall savings to include it in the fridge. If you don’t have a freezer, you won’t have any icecream, and then is life really worth living?

In my experience that mix only means twice the failure rate with twice the fallout.

Are these fridges compressor-based like the larger fridges or Peltier (thermoelectric) like a lot of food "hot/cold boxes"? The latter are hugely inefficient, though on such a small scale maybe it doesn't matter as much...

European fridges also have a freezer, while remaining single door. Top half fridge, bottom half freezer.

More like 1/3.
