Electric rice cookers are pretty uncommon in South Asian countries. Reasons could have been due to the electricity availability and affordability initially. But it has not caught on even now. I have seen electric rice cookers in minuscule number of households. Based on interactions, it’s more to do with people not liking the taste of the cooked rice. I always found this funny as older generation used to complain about the same about pressure cooked and stove top cooked rice instead of the wood fired stove cooked rice but everyone have accepted it now.
