I guess stoves have electric pilots these days, but many installed gas stoves/cooktops have a constantly burning pilot light.

Not for many decades surely. I'm 66 and I haven't used a gas stove that had a pilot light for at least forty years, all have had piezo-electric or mains electric ignition. But then again, I live in Norway now and formerly England not the US.

In the US, that's forbidden in residential, so I doubt you'll find many in people's homes. They are common in commercial.
