Induction is objectively better than every other option for anyone connected to the grid looking to buy a new kitchen stove.

Unfortunately it's one of these things that takes five minutes to explain because everyone has tried the Slumlord Special resistive stove and the general public can't tell the difference. Those five minutes are why induction uptake is pathetically low compared to how superior it is in literally every way.

Same deal with people who would still buy incandescent lightbulbs if they could just because they don't understand that technology has moved on from CFLs and to them it's all "newfangled economic bulbs that can't light for shit".
