1. So much electricity is wasted

Batteries will save that wasted electricity.

That is why big power plants are first in line at putting big batteries online. Nuclear plants for instance, run 24/7, but at night half as much electricity is needed by users, so the production is wasted.

Gas plants can be fired up and stopped within minutes so waste is at a minimum. Besides most gas is wasted due to escape from wells and refineries, so making use of that to make electricity for users is beneficial.

Now, I am all for all solar and wish we didn't use gas, or coal nor nuclear, or plastic coal to make electricity. But as long as people need all their gadgets and they pay their high bills, it will be provided 24/7.
