In fact its even more dangerous as H2 and O2 are formed at both
electrodes.

Given that electrode boilers generate no gas, I'd say you are wrong.

I would guess the ion recombination time to for the electrolysis
products to form is longer than 100th of a second, so they never do.

Exactly. They never turn back into water again.

Google it. Everybody says the same thing. You get H2 and O2 together
and its a bloody explosive mix,


I have and I get examples of electrode boilers and water heaters, with
no mention to beware of explosive gases.


indeed. That because at the currents and conditions they use, its far
more likely that steam will outnumber H2 by a million to one or so
