New homes in the US may not be “electrical ready” after an international standards agency excluded building electrification measures from its latest energy code.
If you aren’t forced to allow for future upgrades now you’ll want government funding to switch in ten years when the gas gets cut off. People have short memories about this sort of thing.
Code requires you install all kinds of outlets you may have no plan on using. Every 4’ on the walls, last I checked, just because a house without proper electrical supply is unusable.
You’re only whining about this oven outlet, though, so methinks you are not being entirely honest about your outrage.
So if I am building myself a new house, I should be forced to install power for a stove in have no interest in using?

If the government’s gonna force me to do something then, yeah, they should be the one paying for it

I’m not outraged, more like annoyed at people trying to force others to go along with their decisions
