I grew up in rural SE USA and now live in metro SE USA. I have seen gas fireplaces, but they are more of a luxury item and not used for heating. The people who do have them have a gas storage tank on their property, usually.
That’s probably true in the UK too for gas fireplaces. What do people use for hobs mostly? I would have guessed that at least 10 years or so ago that would almost always be a gas stove in SE USA, but that’s coming from complete ignorance.
Cool, that’s so interesting how different placescan be! Thanks for zharing. In my mid 30s too but my experience in the UK is the opposite, that last one you shared (we call induction hobs) is common now, but gas cookers have been considered the standard, plus like 95%+ of all houses are heated by gas boilers.

I’m in my mid 30s. Nothing has changed here in that time. SE USA just does not have gas infrastructure.
Also, I’ve never heard the word “hob” in my life. A quick Google seems to show that is what we call a “stove top” or a “stove burner” or “stove eye.”
Growing up, every stove I saw had these:

You still see those, but these days this type is more common:
