the hot happens in the pot and not inside the stove
The pot is sitting on the stove. And induction involves electromagnetism, which means it involves metal pots and pans, and metal loops of wire to induce current in that cookware. Metal parts conduct heat very well. So, induction stoves don’t get quite as hot as conventional stoves. But, they still get very hot because they have a hot metal pot sitting on them.
Also, while induction stoves don’t get quite as hot as other kinds of stoves, they involve large currents and large amounts of magnetism. That means both stress on the electrical parts, and mechanical stress from the magnets.
Overall, I’d guess that an induction stove is probably going to have fewer things that can go wrong with it than a gas stove, a glass-top stove or an olde fashioned electrical resistance stove. But, it isn’t like an LED light or something that should last decades because there’s no moving parts, no heat, no big currents, etc.
