People in NL never take the inner tube out when they repair it. That may be the difference.
Even a lot of bike mechanics do not take the rear wheel out of the bike with coaster brake or internal hub gear when they exchange the rear tyre (although with new, alu frames, I guess they must).
But you're right. Repairing a flat tyre is a bit harder with a dutch bike. But how many times do you really puncture with this kind of bike and modern, well maintained tyres ?
