Inside sure, but outside in -13f / -25c degree weather, not so much. Heating outside in the middle of winter is a constant losing battle and is very costly.
Then to make matters worse, let's try repairing a pothole..I'm sure that would be a lot more difficult then a normal road because of all the hydronic piping so you can't just cut a hole, fill it and be done with it all.
I hear you. Can't say myself but I'd imagine, as others pointed out, as long as you turn on early and prevent initial icing, that's worth it.
Wrt potholes, I'd push back. I get the argument for introducing complexity ofc. However the whole thing is a bunch of PVC tubes ziptied to rebar below foundation and then we just covered with concrete. So filling hole sounds like initial build. But I get your point.
