Do you live in soviet panel house?

No, why? This would be in the northeastern US.

Even smallest soviet kitchen can hold 5 adults without problems with stove, why would big american kitchens have any problems with stoves?

5 people is not a crowded party. Think more like a college house party you might see in an American movie, although they can get a lot more crowded than that.

Whoa! That's a lot of people.

The point is electric stoves I know have knobs where you can't accidentally turn them. The photo isn't mine, but I had same model and same color: Knobs there are... stiff? tough? Well, as I said, they require some force and fall into one of marked positions.

Or butts at a crowded party.

Or firefighters at headquarters during mealtime. Our kitchen has them on the front and I've walked in more than once to a room full of gas because someone hit the dial with their hip/butt and didn't realize.
