Half the work of shirt folding is getting the shirt to a known orientation anyway, I much prefer letting gravity do the work here.

Exactly, living in Europe, I've literally encountered the sheet+blanket combination for the first time a week ago, in a hotel. Duvets with covers ARE the norm.
Wait… you don’t use a sheet under a duvet? What do you wrap under yourself? Not the duvet, that’d be too thick, surely.
Where I'm from we have holes in the top corners of the cover. Just put your arms in there, grab the duvet and pull it in, shake it a bit, done (additionally you might need to fix the bottom corners and shake again). I was surprised when I went to other countries where you have to fiddle with only a bottom opening.
Fellow Finn here, I'm flabbergasted how the rest of the world hasn't figured this out apart from us in the nordics :D
There was a national uproar. People no longer knew how to make their beds.
Attempts were made at convincing them to bring the holes back but without success. We have now settled for the typical Swedish response of making an angry fist with the hand securely hidden inside a pants pocket.

I wasn't even aware duvets were still used outside of hotels. You guys don't just have sheets and a regular blanket on your bed? Is it a cultural/regional thing? They seem very annoying to deal with and I've never found them to be particularly comfortable, so I'm surprised so many people here seem to use them.
You can have a much higher quality material for both inside and outside, and washing the cover is easier than a full comforter. You wash the inside more rarely with a duvet cover. You can also have one inside and many covers for variety of styles during seasons without having an entire room of the house for storing comforters
” Imagine replacing your duvet cover in minutes” When i was 18 and begun my career I hospitality, we’d change a twin bed completely in like 3-4 minutes. How do you spend minutes with just one duvet (excluding disabilities but that’s quite obvious). Also, this is why Swedish duvet covers have holes in the upper corners, just reach through them and grab the liner and pull it in, shake a bit, and you’re done.
I do it in fifteen seconds at most, stuffing it without any consideration just keeping two corners in one hand, then matching them with two cover's corners and gently shaking. Also genuinely baffled about the article, but to be honest, not the first time that I hear someone hating the procedure and describing some problem that I don't understand.
Had a much shorter girlfriend at one point who simply said "that's not fair" when she saw me do it.

IME lots of people just try stuff the duvet in and then shake it to get it in the right place.
Someone should write a book called Household Chores for Hackers: The algorithms your mother took for granted and forgot to teach you .
