That's because there are EU regulations about energy efficiency. Washing machines must have eco-friendly cycles that use less energy: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32...

These cycles take longer. AIUI it's to compensate for reduced temperature (saving the bulk of the energy) and reduced water usage.
