I guess most of Europe gets it wrong then. Then again, maybe you mean towing farm implements on a fifth wheel trailer, not moving your flat pack furniture, bringing a motorcycle or a (small) camping trailer.

Probably 90% of the vehicles here are FWD, and most have a tow rating between 1.5k and 4k lbs, which is enough for most people. If you actually have a commercial reason to move more, you get a nice ladder chassis vehicle, which often also means rwd or awd, but the tax here is quite excessive, so you don't throw away thousands of bucks a year in weight-tax and extra fuel expenses just to drive a heavier car for no reason.
