Why do builders assume that people want the central heating boiler
in
the
kitchen?

I would welcome the idea of an ugly but reliable boiler that could
be
fitted
in a cupboard (like a big meter cupboard) on the outside of the
house.
Less
hassle when replacement is needed as changes to pipework wouldn't
disturb
the appearance of the room.

Such boiler are available. Come in highly insulated outside cabinets
that
mount on the wall.

Special commercial units.

Nope. Grant do options on most of their oil boilers like this.

There are special commercial gas unit that can go outside. Many domestic
oil boilers, as you have stated, can go outside.
