Here in the UK, most buildings have gas central heating anyway, so a gas hob makes a lot of sense.

Yes, because gas is significantly cheaper than electricity for water and space heating.

Its not scary - you just need to ensure it gets maintained properly and preferably have an annual inspection requirement for the gas plumbing and appliances in each apartment in an apartment building, along with proper design to prevent fires from spreading from apartment to apartment too quickly.
