The door isn't there, but many "business traveler" hotel lines are closer to what you describe.
But yeah, if you want to cook, the options are slimmer. There ARE still options -- Extended Stay America, in the US, for example -- but mostly you'd be better off renting a property and not a hotel room.

Exactly, every business hotel I've ever seen has had a fridge, kitchen-style sink and a microwave. Then touristy locations often have condo rentals on a weekly basis which will have proper kitchens and washer & dryer, if you're travelling long enough to need a kitchen it's probably going to be a week or more.
Worst case people can do what Americans have been doing for decades, travel with a cooler and refill with new ice as needed. We did this all throughout my childhood when we'd go to Florida from Indiana, we'd eat out for dinner and sometimes for breakfast the whole trip but lunch was pretty much always sandwiches made from perishables kept in a cooler. We'd keep drinks in a small igloo and then we'd usually buy a large Styrofoam cooler for the food.

Not really my experience although a small refrigerator that isn't a minibar is more common than it used to be. Outside of extended stay hotels though, I don't see a microwave or other kitchen-related features very often.
