Where to start. The glass can easily chip/crack/splinter, and if you use the wrong choice if words it won't be covered under warranty.
You have to use specific pots and pans, regular ones will destroy your glass.
They are too expensive, and from what I understand pretty hard to cook with (I've not used them myself aside from testing and whatnot).
They simply aren't worth the added hassle, fragility, and added expenses. If it did something super awesome to offset those issues it wouldn't be so bad.
Maybe some knockoffs do, but basically the only way to crack the glass is to make something heavy like a pot fall from a serious height on it.

That's untrue, they just need to be metallic for the induction to work

No? They aren't harder to cook than any other cooktop.

They're the best electric option - fastest to warm and cool, and most efficient. Gas belongs in the past for most people ( air quality, pollution, risks ( like leaks, fires) and in general we should be moving away from all fossil fuels).
1- They crack/scratch so often often its not unheard of to replace the glass on a new install.
2- if you think 'metal' pots and pans is all they need... I don't even know how to reply to that.
3- I only have hearsay.
4- best electric option? Dude you are arguing with a repair tech about things from the consumer side. They are hands down the worst option and universally hated by techs.
You may prefer them and that's fine, but google can inform you on the myriad problems apparently better than I can.
'gas belongs in the past' lol ok, wait till your power goes out. Or do electric, but not induction. There's a reason sales for them fell off a cliff and stayed there.
But, more power to you, if you like induction that's fine.
