is electric heating likely to become cheaper than gas heating in future?

Not likely. Electric is 3x 4x as expensive and that gap will not be

So why is it not economical to generate one's own domestic electrickery
from a small mains gas-fired generator.
Cos it's limited in efficiency by thermodynamic constraints. If you use the
waste heat it's a different matter, hence the interest in CHP. Capital costs
will be high.
