We don't use gas much for heating in northern Europe. At least not in Scandinavia, Iceland and Finland (Maybe Denmark is a small exception). Norway is also Europe's biggest gas exporter. I don't think gas heating is noticeably cheaper than heat pumps, but smaller upfront costs.

Yeah; gas is big largely in Germany, and even moreso in the Netherlands since they historically had an enormous gas field in Groningen.
