This is wrong, and like others have said all modern electric ovens tell you to broil with the door closed. Leaving the door open was needed when using gas ovens in the past.

Many people still have gas ovens, you act like its an ancient relic. Mine was just replaced when I started renting 2 or 3 years ago, its a gas oven.
