The guidance on this in the Netherlands is actually being relaxed somewhat: https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6180537/autodeur-met-verste-han... (in Dutch).

The Dutch government actually issues a message earlier this week (probably in response to what the UK is doing) with the updated guidance.

Apparently, it's not that safe in some recent cars due to the position of the door handle. So it no longer is something that is checked during driving exams anymore. Nor is it required to be teaching it during driving lessons. And the guidance is to simply pay attention.
