Kitchens are typically open, connected and viewable from another aspect of a house. I understand that that’s a pro for ventilation however, if a kitchen fire were to start, wouldn’t it be better to have it be in a closed off room that you can just easily shut a door too? For example, if a kitchen was placed in an area that could be used as a bedroom, wouldn’t that be good for stopping the spread of a fire if one were to occur?

Possibly.
However, consider that the vast majority of people don’t burn their kitchens down. The benefits of having the kitchen separated are limited to most people, while the benefits of an open kitchen are not.
