The large majority of normal people would take the half price electricity than the highly regulated, never-ever-have-an-outage electricity that's way more expensive.

As if that were the choice...

In PG&E land we have extraordinarily expensive (e.g. hitting over 0.60$/kwh) electricity that has outages more often than Texas.

High prices go hand in hand with low reliability because the same incompetence and corruption results in both.
