It's always easier to choose the option that costs less to install but more to use. That's why lots of homes have poorly insulated pipes and lots of people use cheap printers that require expensive ink.
Heating with gas doesn’t cost more to use (at least now), and doesn’t require the insulation either.
Thermal heat from gas is cheap, even when gas is expensive. Gas has a LOT of btus. Furnaces are also far simpler to make and maintain than heat pumps, which is why they are still so popular.

Boilers can go either way.
