ideally you want a 1500 watt, but at this price a 1000 watt is definitely doable!

I picked up 2 as part of my camp / emergency weather / SHTF prep. 1000W (or 2kw if 2) is a lot easier to power than 1,500w (or 3kw if 2).
It doesn't sound like a big difference, but a lot of the "solar generators" (which are basically all in one portable batteries with charge controllers and inverters built in) don't typically have inverters over 2,000w. Some are actually only rated for 1,800w, but could still likely run both of these (especially if you don't have each cranked up to 100%)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think an induction burner would be superior in most ways, right? The exception is for cookware that is not compatible with induction burners (not ferromagnetic). And maybe this one is just cheaper?

Or is there another reason to buy this one over an induction burner?

If it matters, I think generally, Induction burners will be, at least, a bit bigger and somewhat heavier than these. Though that said, if one is pursuing simple, small and lightweight, gas burners rule supreme in all of those aspects.
And yes, induction requires ferrous metal in the cookware, which is dense and heavy.

If you're actually going to use something like this semi-often, induction is the way to go. This one is cheaper, but it's also far more basic than any induction burner I've used. This is more than adequate for something simple, but if you're actually going to cook with it, you'd benefit from better temperature control that an induction burner would provide.

With induction you save around 50% of the energy expenditure of a hot plate. Heat control is usually a lot more precise as well. Most times you can enter a numerical value for how hot you want your cookware. I also recommend using ferromagnetic cookware anyway over the ubiquitous, cheaply made aluminum and nonstick cookware. A steel or cast iron pan ends up needing less maintenance and lasts far longer.

I like my gas burners, but I recently measured the concentration of CO2 in my small apartment when both the burners and oven are on at the same time. Frequently exceeds 3000 ppm, which isn't immediately hazardous, but it's pretty bad. At that level, headaches are common along with a (temporary) drop in several IQ points. So, I'm really re-thinking my love for gas burners nowadays, and I started opening my windows every time I cook.

My case is a bit unique, because my apartment is small (700 sq ft) and I don't have a proper exhaust fan. But I would bet that a lot of people considering these small portable burners are in similar situations (maybe in campers or small apartments with no oven). I really wouldn't recommend a gas burner for anyone that doesn't have proper ventilation.

For $10 this seems like a decent deal for a hot plate for chemicals and stuff lol

These are ideal for Bialetti Moka Pot, since they avoid heating the top carafe as much as a gas stove. They're also lightweight, and at 1000watts you can power them on many portable lithium batteries .

Needs ferromagnetic metal in the pans; a lot of older (still 21st c, though) stainless cookware isn't induction compatible, which is a shame bc otherwise most of it will basically last forever barring abuse.

FYI: 1500W is the max recommended wattage for a 15 amp circuit to allow for other routine usage, so most plug-in electronics that cap there is to avoid tripping breakers, and 1800W is the same for 20A.

One reason: if you have cookware that isn't induction-compatible, this will heat up your house much less than using a gas range in the summer? On the other hand, compared to both gas and induction, this is going to stay hot a lot longer, so there's a burn risk you need to keep in mind, and this will be less efficient than induction. Whether that's more or less than using a transfer plate, I don't know? At $10 it might be worth trying.
