Just out of curiosity: In the 1950’s why did they hard wire stoves?

Mom bought me a new stove for Christmas, out of the blue. So let’s just say not a lot of advanced planning went into this. So they dropped of the new stove and the delivery guys took one look at the stove and knew that it would be hard wired in. They moved it and it was.

Now ignoring the fact that I am dumb, and even if there had been an outlet it would probably have been the wrong kind anyway.

Is there any reason they hard wired stoves rather than using plugs?
