I don't really have a position on the issue one way or the other, but it is insane how quickly this somewhat small issue (compared to stuff that everyone has been talking about for decades, like abortion) became part of the culture war, I already see "come and take it" memes being made.
you are 100% correct. Climate Town did an episode on this and it's both comprehensive and damning. the "i love my gas stove" is absolutely a corporate manufactured affectation that has been doing a full court press in social media/influencer spaces for some years and it is meant to obscure their efforts to prevent community policy from updating building codes.
gas stoves represent very little of the residential gas usage, but they are the only appliance which uses gas that people can be persuaded to think has some personal value to them. nobody really gives a shit about a gas furnace vs a heat pump or a gas water heater vs electric, so long as they work, and these are the lion's share of gas sales in the home. but the attachment to "cooking with gas" prevents the electrification of the home and demolition of gas lines, smart grid/fully electric building codes, etc.
even in isolation of the broader issues and environmental concerns, there is absolutely zero benefit to gas stoves over electric. it has been studied exhaustively.
