with a 3k price tag for the cooktop, and another 500-1000 for induction cookware?

This regulation effects rental units, renters aren't going to swap ovens and cookware every-time they move house.

I bought an induction cooktop for around USD 350 a few years ago. That was the premium unit of a cheap brand. They also had a cheaper one for around USD 200.

The cheap, government-controlled rentals in my town started switching to induction for all new cooktops a decade ago.

This is in Europe, though.
