The pilot lights always seemed like a wasteful idea to me, never even considering they would be releasing combustion byproducts into the air all the time.
I’m not aware of any modern residential gas stoves which use a pilot, they use a spark to ignite on demand. Commercial ranges sometimes have a pilot though.
It’s still relatively common to have a pilot in a gas water heater or furnace though.
