Most US homes have at least one 220v split phase line for major appliances like stoves or AC.

Yes, but most homes don't have extra 220v outlets except for the ones provided for the specific appliances that need them.

So if you want to plug in a device like this "tinybox" at home, it's going to be a lot easier to find two separate 110v outlets on different circuits than to have a new 220v circuit added, or to unplug your stove every time you want to use it.

I don't know what adversarial relationship you have with electricians, but adding more 220v outlets is absolutely feasible. Usually takes an electrician a day of work.

Who needs a stove? My 3200W GPU box puts out more than enough heat to roast a chicken.
