I think they are usually joined to each other through the face frames.

The answer to the ¼" space (could even be larger) lies in the corner
of a room. If you've ever taped drywall or seen it done, there is
buildup in the corner. Possibly no more than 1/8" if the tapers are
good, more like ¼" or more if I'm doing it. The corner will not be
square and cabinets without the space you're describing will be a
bitch to try and install. The fixes are aggravating, time consuming,
messy, and potentially expensive.

By the way, I'll give you three guesses how I learned all of this.
