Forgive me if this is an obvious question, I don't cook much... is there a reason ovens and ranges are attached to each other?

I suspect it goes back to the wood and coal fired "cookers" - people built one fire in a big metal device, radiant heat kept the ovens hot and the warmers warm, direct heat kept the cooking surface hot, and it needed only one chimney (often from the old open hearth & fireplace.)

Same principle behind the “always on” AGA stoves. Re: separates, it can be ergonomically better not to bend down to get things into / out of an oven; induction cooktops are safer. That said, had an Electrolux once - roller glide racks FTW.

The stove I have now used to be coal burning. It has burners, an oven, warmers, and was meant to heat the house too.https://twitter.com/stubbornella/status/928334330161594373?s=21 …

I've never cooked on one, but I'd love to try, though I think I'd be nervous about baking in one.

The oven doesn’t work right now... and came with a thermometer inside... so I’m guessing it is unreliable :)

I'm sure you'll have it operating and perfectly calibrated in no time. :)
