A new induction range at the cheapest appliance store in my area is right around $1200. I can get a gas range for around $400. The price just isn’t feasible for many people that need to replace a major appliance, and that’s not even mentioning the massive number of cheap ass landlords who will most likely never install induction, especially if there’s an existing gas hookup.
I feel like you didn’t even read what I said. For many people here on the US, moving to an induction range is cost prohibitive. It has nothing to do with which one is better. Hell, a lot of homes would even need an electrician to run an electrical line to where the range goes since it used to be common to only have a gas hookup.

Tl;dr: electric is better.
I’m in the EU. “Range” is a cooktop plus oven, right?
We got rid of out old gas appliance and bought an induction top and an electric oven.
They both cost as much as the gas stove, so double the price. Running them costs about the same.
But induction is just so easy and quick! Setting the time for eggs, getting water to boil in seconds… It’s truly next level.
The oven is just alright, maybe heats more evenly with the fan.
Other than that? I guess no danger of explosions. No yearly checkups.
I like it much more, and wouldn’t go back.
Range is the top part. Oven is the box. Stove is the whole thing.
But if you mix them up everyone will still know what you mean.

Yes, the US is different. My range has a normal 220V plug, and a simple menu to set the maximum wattage it’s allowed to draw…
They sell single induction tops for like $50.
You mean hot plates?
No.
