You've been to the wrong places. Go to Philadelphia and you can see
tens of thousands of indoor gas and water meters. I lived in a row
house with 50 houses just on my block. *That street ran about 12
blocks. One of many.

Or here in CT where I can show you thousands of them.

indoors in pittsburgh too. i only saw ONE outdoor meter in pittsburgh
my entire life. it was in a deep sump covered by a steel lid when i
was a child, at a nearby home...

the frost line is at least 4 feet in pittsburgh, and basements are the
norm here
