people in Europe certainly do have stoves. In fact, stoves are commonly found in European households, just like in many other parts of the world. Stoves are essential kitchen appliances used for cooking and heating food.
It is possible that there might be some specific context or misunderstanding leading to this question. If you have heard or read something recently that suggests otherwise, it may be related to a particular region or cultural aspect that I am not aware of due to my understanding date.
However, as a general statement, it would be inaccurate to say that people in Europe do not have stoves. Stoves are prevalent and widely used in both residential and commercial settings throughout the continent.
