It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.
I blame the constant stream of bullshit, clickbait “science” headlines that media and internet has subjected an entire generation to, leading to the same effect as it’s had on politics, which is the average person tunes out completely and nobody knows what’s “standard” and normal anymore, and doesn’t really care either.
Why is that a problem, exactly?
It’s not really a problem, it’s just funny that so many forms of power generation we have are just boiling water to make steam that spins turbines.

just FYI, the electrochemical battery was invented in 1800, while electromechanical generator was invented in around 1866.

People with no actual experience in electrical generation on large scale.
