  1. turning off my hot water while my cloths are drying sounds pretty stupid to me... and I like my stuff to work. everything you're talking about here is a complication of existing technology... and more complicated means more points of failure. with the water heater you'll now have to keep the heatpump system clean. regular hot water heater maintenance isn't something most currently do nor something anyone wants to add... so that's an additional cost to have it serviced every 6-8 months when the heat pump gets all clogged up with dust and crap... then a stove with an extra battery in it which has a limited lifespan giving your stove a shelf life... yay! not to mention all of these heat pumps would use huge amount of refrigerants that are costly to dispose of and the systems need to be serviced semi-regularly...
