Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though ๐คท

That's a thing with diswashers in North America, but not in Europe. In Europe, dishwasher are almost always connected to the cold water line only. OP seems to be posting from New Zealand, I don't know how they handle it.
It's handled like that in North America, because their mains electricity doesn't output enough juice to operate a water boiler at a reasonable speed:

So I imagine, in pretty much the rest of the world, it works like you described for Europe...
Confirming, connected to cold water here in NZ.
