1. If a home already has a gas stove it would take some money to get it disconnected/removed and then you need to spend money to buy a new induction stove. 2. Per kWth gas is significantly cheaper (on average) so gas stove likely cheaper to run despite lower efficiency. 3. Cheap induction stoves have at least these flaws: touch controls (which go mad when water is spilled), pulsing power control - on low level it looks like 1 sec boiling every 5 seconds instead of simmering. I recently bough a counter-top induction hob and the cheapest option with physical controls I could find was 5x more expensive than one I've bought (which doesn't make me hate touch controls less).
