They do, but cars are more of a necessary evil, currently. I would gladly have an EV or use public transport, but there isn't the charging infrastructure for the former and I don't have a driveway/garage to charge at home. The latter - pandemic. I stopped smoking years ago and would encourage anyone else to do the same. Red meat and alcohol - those are not going to give little Billy in the play park next door chronic asthma. There may be other knock on effects but they sound a little bit too straw man in a discussion about unnecessary combustion in the home.
It's not about the owner for me, it's about what it will do to other people through no choice of their own, just because I wanted something because I thought it would be nice. I would love an open fire or a wood burner, but I can't justify having one where I live currently. In the middle of nowhere (like where I grew up), with a proper back boiler to contribute to central heating, then it's more of an option.
