You are correct but I'm sure OP didn't mind and might even agree with me. That's quite literally a quote from one of their comments responding to a similar assertion.

I think it's mostly because of people's cleaning habits. Since cleaning a gas stove is a lot more involved it's likely that more people are putting it off until the soot is there. Old stile electric stoves (with elevated burners, no glass plate) are in a similar situation, albeit still easier to clean than gas stoves. I assume that if you're cleaning it thoroughly after every spill (or just don't spill) this wouldn't happen.
That's unfair, and TBH a bit rude - they didn't generalise, they explictly stated "I have never seen...".
Another data point here, from someone who's been cooking with gas for a looong time, and who does regularly take the burners to piece and clean them well.
I've also never seen any soot accumulation. Maybe it varies and happens on some models ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
