I'm definitely biased, I keep only about what I can move in my truck. Also around here it's almost trivial to furnish a two bedroom place with used and free stuff for like $300 to $500.
Moving is incredibly expensive and unrealistic for most people in the US unfortunately.
It costs a lot more to move into a cheaper place than it does to absorb the increase.
I guess because of the choices I've made that's not really been the case personally. Usually I get my deposits back in full or nearly in full. I've never hired movers or rented a truck so far. I guess if I needed I would get a trailer and sell it when I'm done with it. As for labor, there's always cheap labor around. Two dudes who want $50 each is probably enough if I couldn't physically move my stuff but irl I would probably have my family help.
You sound very young and without much baggage to move around. You are not the average American family then.
I've known families who've been more mobile than myself, but you're right, definitely not average. I used to have a lot more stuff but it gets heavy on the mind.
