Electric stovetops do not work for all applications, try using a wok or any other round bottom utensil on an induction stove

They do make induction stoves for woks, if you wanted to use woks in a commercial kitchen you would get a specialty stove much like specialty gas stoves are used for them now.

If you see how asian chefs use their woks that thing is laughable.

I see chefs use these daily at the local food court to prepare Asian dishes. Your comment doesn't track with reality

So use a standalone gas cooker (google 'countertop butane cooker'). Yes, I have seen professionals use them (granted, in a 'demo kitchen' setup).

Flat bottom woks do exist.

If it has a flat bottom it isn't a wok. A flat bottom would make it a "cooking pan" instead of a "cooking pot".

Flat bottom woks have a flat bottom. not a flat inside.
