I don't get it either. I always had standard electric in places where I lived until now. My first gas stove: 1. Often smells of gas which implies a slow leak which is scary 2. Isn't vented at all, so it's spewing who the fuck knows what, even when it's working properly. Give me an induction surface and a big air fryer and I'm happy.
And instant pot style automatic pressure cookers are amazing. I can prepare dry beans to perfection in under an hour using a quarter the energy of even an induction stove, and using less water too (because the heat and steam are mostly retained)
I have two!
"Took 3x as long and burnt my food" I honestly don't see how these things can both be true. You either cooked it too long or too hot.
