At least here in Germany 'breadbin' is quite wellknown. We call it 'Brotkasten', which means literally the same.

In the U.S., "bread bin," or more commonly "bread box," is also known. I have one.

I think it might be a generational lapse, rather than a geographic quirk, as bread boxes don't seem common in younger households.

Modern store-bought bread has so many preservatives that you don't need a breadbox. I wonder if the brief fad of people taking up baking during COVID-19 lockdowns will/has cause(d) an increase in breadbox sales.
