Agreed, but thats not what was said.

Many people [still] on E7 these days dont have storage radiators anymore, they are on it historically, and have just never moved.
I was on it for 10+ years after disconnecting the last of my storage heaters. If you used at least 25% of your electric in the E7 hours it was still worth it.

Over time my night usage dropped to about 21%, but until around 2020 I didnt care about that too much as the difference wasnt significant.
However as prices went up, it was more of an issue and I switched to standard (still on the E7 meter - they just charged the standard rate on both readings).
