The portable ones are often touch-only.

Guess: touch panels are cheaper, more reliable and more compact than physical knobs.

People are not replacing gas stoves with portable induction, surely.

FWIW the portable ones are great when you live in cheap apartments with shitty stoves. One of the few good investments I made in college...

I have a portable induction for the vehicle, if I am camping in an emergancy it works great to boil water extremely fast.

Though, as a student, if I lived in an apartment with a gas hob I don't know if I would have bought a portable induction unit to replace it.
