This doesn't seem remotely hard to understand:
* I use a washing machine
* The dryer is directly on top of it
* Moving clothes between the two takes roughly 10 seconds
* I don't have a clothesline(s) in my yard
* Land might be utilized for other things, requiring more complexity than just hanging (eg, pulley systems and the like, which of course you see in many places)
* Energy is cheap
* Time is precious
* I tend to prefer fluffy clothes out of the dryer to stiff hang-dry clothes
But to me, the number one indication that your expectation is unreasonable is that you specifically mention "even in summer". With that comment, you're indicating an awareness that hang-drying may be inconvenient or impractical during part of the year. If that is the case, and now you need a machine to do the work, why not use the machine year round? You already paid for the convenience, so at this point, the only reason NOT to use the machine is to save energy.
On a personal level (I live in California, so the weather is almost always nice), the number one reason I don't hang dry clothes is because it takes way too much time. I can rarely be bothered to even put my clothes away after doing laundry. I find it extremely tedious to deal with every garment individually.
