My family rented a house for a reunion earlier this year. On the first day, we were putting groceries away. Suddenly, we heard a loud beeping - the sound was similar to a CO monitor or smoke detector. I was about to herd everyone outside, when my aunt realized it was the fridge, complaining that the door had been open too long.

Depends upon your need to access the contents on a regular basis.
And how much energy you lose taking everything out to get something on the bottom.
Or if you have a bad back, short arms or use a wheelchair.

I suspect you are correct, and I suspect this is the only reason fridges work at all. Otherwise my milk is spending half its day above 50°F 
But yes, I’m sure thermal mass is key. Once things get cold, they tend to stay that way.

In my house it would go on the list of smart appliances that are disappointed with me.

well, yes, AND your smart food packaging. All will be assimilated and will now service the collective fridge.

Does it help you make Kimchi?(I had to replace a fridge recently, and LG seemed keen to push me towards this sort of extravagance).

Even worse: wait until your spouse catches you and your fridge having relations.

I know some fridges have clear doors that allow you to see the contents without opening the doors, but I’m waiting for the day when they sell a fridge where the entire door shows a 3D display of the interior that can be virtually rotated by swiping left or right so you can see what’s in the back.
