Well, duh. Even if you can find a charging station, who wants to wait an hour or more (maybe even 4+ hours) for your battery to charge sufficiently?
Plus, I’ve even replaced all my electric garden tools with gas ones. I can’t stand how they lose power so quickly.

I’ve got one exception to that though not quite a garden tool. I have an electric chain saw and it lasts well past when I need a break and recharges fairly quickly. It’s handy on forty acres of Juniper and Pinon pine.
Imagine getting low on juice on I-95 in Newark and having to hang around a public charging station for hours. Someday something bad will happen to someone from this.

I have a Ryobi electric trim mower it is pretty good for what I use it for, trimming. I have a swale along with a frontal ditch, which is difficult to mow, and the incline is such that gas mowers we’ll run out of gas in the carburetor about halfway through the mowing lane at the incline. I have to mow and since the electric is pretty light it makes mowing a couple of those steep embankments a lot less difficult.
I also noted with electric mowers that when the crab grass comes in real heavy, like it is right now, the battery duration is cut in half.
I don’t see how the nitwits who want to ban small, gasoline-powered engines get traction. Electric power tools might be fine for home use, but if you’re a landscaper, you can’t afford to be charging them every time you turn around.
