A cultural / different country thing. I know few people whose parents paid for braces, college (University), and even much on the wedding, nothing much on the house except a wedding present.
Some places have free (or nearly so) health care and education. A wedding is as cheap or expensive as you want. People might rent or save their own deposit.
