> These things under the glass do not heat anything
Glass infrared cookers also exist, my parents had one back in the 90's before induction was much of a thing. It was touted as easy to clean (and looks cool)
Probably depends on your location. They are still sold here in Sweden for instance, but otoh almost nobody has a gas stove since electricity used to be dirt cheap here.
I have one! I think they're still pretty common in New Zealand too.
They're awful though, I've only got one because I'm renting. The old school exposed spiral element ones are the best non induction electric stoves imo.
