You actually can “bake” stovetop with a large enough Dutch oven. Also, you can buy (someplace?) a stove-top oven. I had to use one when I worked in a hospital lab “some years ago”. So while not awfully convenient, you can do almost all oven functions on stovetop.

I would choose of course the burners, because on the stove you can cook everything, and it will be much faster.
I probably agree with you, there was a time when my oven didn’t work and I was fine with just the burners.
Although I use my oven a lot for roasting meats and vegetables, I do not bake. I would choose a gas stovetop. Instead of quiche, you make frittata. You can’t boil water for tea in an oven. You can sauté, fry, braise, grill, griddle, poach, simmer, steam, and toast on a gas stovetop. We lose power in winter storms and warm weather hurricanes. We have a gas range, with a 50 lb. propane tank. The oven won’t work without electricity, but we can light the stovetop with matches.

You have very accurately noticed the reasons why the hotplate is better than the oven. I agree with you, because you can do everything on the hotplate, and there are limited things in the oven. I also really like single-burner stoves. They create a special atmosphere. Since childhood, these propane burners have been associated with camping, with dad, with vacations. On this propane burner, my dad and I cooked food, made tea, and it served as a bonfire. In addition, a propane burner will always help out, even if the lights or gas are turned off. It feels like cooking over a bonfire. I found my ideal burner thanks to a review on CleverWander. I hope you find your own.
