Why so many NEW townhomes, Apartment and even houses use electric base board

You asked Why?

Because they're cheaper to install than a forced air or boiler system
and if the inhabitant is responsible for the electric bill, the
developer could care less what the ongoing cost is.

That's why consumers should always determine the TCO - Total Cost of
Ownership - before making any substantial purchase
