I mean the average residential oven. I've never seen one with a temp
gauge. Is it because the oven manufacturers don't want you to know
how inaccurate their ovens are compared with the setting on the knob?

Given that some have 50 degrees swings during the cycles, it would drive a
lot of people nuts just watching the thermometer.

Ah. That must be what has happened.
