Eliminating gas infrastructure also can save builders money, I don't know the exact costs, but I know it isn't cheap. Gas utilities are shit scared about this, so they may have dropped prices for new hookups/developments.
Also, everyone pays meter fees for gas meters, I think I pay around $110/year just for the privilege of having a gas meter, further longtime savings for home buyers with all-electric homes.

My son had gas heat when he lived in Spokane. It really wasn't cheaper and was just another bill to keep track of.

Which is a hilarious way to shoot yourself in the foot. Our gas stove and fireplaces still worked during the multiday power outage last week.
