I have three. One for an electric stove and one for an electric dryer. Both are unused, as mine are both gas. The third one is in the garage. I asked for that one in case I ever upgrade to a 220v air compressor. It's in addition to the 38 110v outlets in my garage.
None!
In my new home I have zero working 220 outlets.
Stove and dryer were converted to gas at some point.
Hot water is via the boiler.
I'm surprised the ones for the stove and dryer weren't left in place. All new construction in my area has gas and 220v for stove and dryer. That way you can install whatever works best for you.
I'm in south Florida so we don't even have gas lines in the neighborhood. Which I"m glad for in a way that there will never be any gas line explosions. I think if anyone wants a gas stove they need to use propane around here.

I've never seen a gas line explosion and I'm retired. The chances of one happening are infinitesimal.

The outlets are still there. They were disconnected at the panel so I could easily reconnect if need be.
Never have understood why everyone calls it a hot water heater? If it's hot, why do you need to heat it?
Habit, I would assume. I agree with you that it's wrong, but I doubt I could change my ways at this point. It's like calling a copier a Xerox machine. Not right, but.. It's established in lingo now.
