Hot water is pretty expensive. Even if you are not worried about the phone, you may want to consider the impact on the environment (and your finances).
Electricity for heating water (tankless) under my roof is approximately 18% of our total consumption, averaged across the months, which cost roughly $25 max, in my market. You’re right that I could aggressively reduce my consumption there and probably cut that number in half.
It is absolutely a luxury I am affording myself in this chapter of my life and hopefully in all the other chapters, too, especially if we add on solar capacity to the house.
