where are you? I don't see the market in US where most households go grocery shopping at the supermarkets at least once a week anyway, those without personal vehicles might have to go every 2 or 3 days. you can even buy refrigerated milk at the gas station marts. is going to giant supermarkets with 25% of the floor space dedicated to refrigerated goods not a thing where you live?
Germany. We go grocery shopping once a week, too, but we only buy milk every couple of weeks. Supermarkets tend to be smaller than what I've seen in the US but there are usually several different chains in the same area.
No real idea why most milk here is UHT. It's more convenient and tastes the same (although some people say otherwise) but I have no idea when it started. You can still buy "fresh" milk in supermarkets but that's usually just a tiny section in a refrigerated shelf vs several pallets of UHT milk.

yeah seems like it's a response to limited fridge space in stores, space just really isn't a concern here
We need all the fridge space for sausages and cold cuts :D
