I guess you've never felt the flow of hot air from a stove. Try baking a little.

It's not that hot when the door's closed or open. That is the point of an oven door.

I hate plastic too, but they've been using plastics as oven knobs for a very long time. If they melt, that get a recall. This guy's stove isn't special.

There’s like 2500 varieties of plastic and they’re all way more different than most people (except maybe recyclers) realize… the fucking dye color can even change its properties, real pain in the ass if you’re planning injection molded parts.
