That is true of gas stoves, but gas furnaces don't exhaust into the house.

But gas turbines do vent to their neighbors’ air, which is the main point here.

Lower efficiency gas furnaces don’t have a completely sealed exhaust and rely on a draft for pollutant evacuation. This usually works good enough when properly installed and maintained but can be a source of indoor air pollution. Although typically minimal.

And there are also decorative and/or supplemental gas heating devices which exhaust into the home.
