Everything you just said was wrong. There’s no feedback from the coil, no temperature sensor, just a dumb switch that uses duty cycle to control output.
Whereas gas is a steady heat, and the heat output can be gauged by eye.
…There’s a reason that article has more ‘citation needed’ marks than any article I have ever seen on wikipedia.
Yes, in the 1920s, the few electric cooktops available used a timer switch. Not modern ones In fact this assertion is so dumb it’s hard finding a way to word the debunking search term for it. Because of course they’re thermostat controlled. Have you never repaired an electric stove or griddle before? It’s literally in every single repair manual from at least the 1980s that I remember.
Also no, you can’t ‘gauge’ gas stove heat by eye. You can do it for your stove, to some degree, but there is no standard for gas stove heating ranges or outputs besides maximums for safety regulations. The second you get to use a different gas stove your ‘eye’ is going to be wrong 100% of the time.
Technically they’re correct, they’re referring to an induction stovetop. Induction stovetops are sort of like magic. That being said, old non-induction electric stovetops are cheeks.

We’re talking about the stove, or range. That’s the flat bit on top where you put pots and pans, an oven is the box you put food in that gets hot.
Scroll down, child.
You mean to the part where it talks about adjusting the gas flow on the burner? 😂
You’ve posted a diagram for a gas stove, you complete and utter imbecile.

I’ve used induction cooktops that are duty cycle based, they just do it a lot faster, fast enough that the interruption in heat isn’t noticeable.
You can hear them cycling on and off.
