Because they are extremely loud, consume 8-10 kW, and probably cost $20K used.

Plenty of home runs all electric heating systems. Running inference on a H100 could be dual-purpose and also heat your home! (albeit less efficient than heat pumps, but identically as efficient as resistive heating)

The 8-10kW isn’t a big deal anymore given the prevalence of electric vehicles and charging them at home. A decade ago very few homes have this kind of hookup. Now it’s reasonably common, and if not, electricians wouldn’t bat an eye on installing it.
