Jup it has been available for a very long time in the Netherlands as well.

When I moved to the UK, what surprised me is that Tesco self check out is so much more cumbersome. It weighs your stuff, stops working when something isn't exactly the right weight. Super annoying to use if you're used to the system used in Sweden and The Netherlands. But that was in stores in the middle of central London, it may be very different in more suburban "big" stores which is where it was first rolled out in NL as well.

It's entirely up to the store how sensitive (or if it cares about weight in the bagging area at all).

And how that's set usually has more to do with the store's location than anything else.
