You enjoy repeating those Saudi soundbites, they've got you hooked!
Like if it dies, I'll consider replacing it with an electric one... But will cost me more in the electricity bill?
I feel like I'm already paying so much in socal. Hope you don't take it the wrong way, genuinely curious about this whole thing

If my gas water heater died this year, I'd probably just replace it with another gas water heater. But this may not be true as the cost of heat pumps drop.
For new construction, a heat pump should be a no brainer.

Or maybe you value thrift and independence. You want to feel control over your environment, and not have your mind seized by every new fashion in society. You want to keep your money close so that you have more options in life. Ride that gas furnace until it fails.
Values should shape decision making. Let your purchasing choices reflect the kind of person you are and the one you want to be. Try not to judge other people for choosing differently.

I picked up a 65 gallon one about 8 months ago. I made the choice because my gas one started to leak. There's a 240 outlet right next to it. And mine would be located in the garage. The sale price plus state rebate brought it down to 1k? Install is a breeze. It's quite efficient and very controllable via app(although the app does time out) I currently have it pulling warmer air from the top of my garage. And the discharge cools my garage. Noise isn't a factor for me.

One of the things you can do to offset it is to have a switchable vent into your home. Since it spits out cold air as a process of heating the water, you can vent that cold air into your home to help reduce AC usage. Of course, adding the duct work needed increases upfront costs but that should only need to be done once.
If you have solar under NEM 3.0, a heat pump water heater can help maximize solar savings. You will want to set the heat pump heater to work primarily during the day and shut off at night; it'll reduce the amount of electricity you sell back to the utilities at low rates. This is where having a large tank is useful because you can heat up a lot of water during the day and then coast through the night with what is available in the tank.
Honestly, I wouldn't replace the gas heater until it breaks or the energy efficient appliance credits are about to expire if costs are the primary concern.

PG&E just rose rates to 0.42c/ kW for tier1 and a whopping 0.52c/kW for tier 2.
We are hemorrhaging money left and right due to our corrupt politicians giving PG&E a state mandated monopoly.

If you live in the Bay Area, unless you have solar, this is a legit concern. Electric is insanely expensive and now (I think?) worse than San diego
