The biggest problems with gas stove tops are not emissions but the impact on air quality indoors (NO2 in particular) and the risk of fire/explosion.

If the building codes don’t require safe gas installations that seems like a problem that could be resolved by updating the codes to require safe gas installations. That doesn’t appear to be the basis of the policy described in the article though.
