Something that shoudln't be unterestimated is vested interests in gas grids, particularly local gas grids. Lots of municipalities own gas grids or companies partly owned by the municipality own them. Your local major probably doesn't like the idea that this gas distribution grid which is a source of income for your town is likely worthless scrap in the not so far future. This is also the reason why some grid operators push for hydrogen heating, with the idea that at some point in the future the gas grids will be coverted to hydrogen. Most experts in the space don't think this is very plausible, because it's unlikely that such a huge amount of green hydrogen will be produced and using fossil gas based hydrogen doesn't really make much sense. Also converting a grid from methane to hydrogen isn't trivial, there are safety concerns and compared to a heat pump this is excessively inefficient. But if you own a gas grid you may see things differently.
