Simply not true. There’s a ton of induction and electric coil ranges with knobs. Just look at the Bosch line.

I haven't seen one in a kitchen in decades, other than extremely old ones. The touch control design is absolutely everywhere. At least here in Norway, where ~all stovetops are electric.

I just bought an LG induction stove, all knobs except oven temp setting.

I mean they probably exist but the standard induction plates that they deliver with kitchens are all touch control. You learn to live with it.

I know someone who just bought a brand-new consumer-grade convection oven with induction cooktop. Knobs for the stovetop, buttons for the oven.

Agreed - maybe not lots - but I got myself a HIS8055U three years ago specifically because it had knobs. No regrets there. I wish it had one larger burner, but completely night and day with traditional electric.

they are definitely a minority, not "tons". On the Bosch website I can't even find them.

Not really in Europe, at least not in the nordics. All Bosch are touch controls.
