Again, I’m talking about someone who has never used one who has their mind made up.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with preferring gas. It has many superior use cases. My point is that “no, I like things this way and won’t ever consider trying the other thing, much less changing, even though the other thing ends up being effectively free in the long run” is silly, and almost certainly based in some kind of identity.

Where as I think most curious people would think "Oh, neat, a new cooking surface. I'd like to try that thing."
