Do you just assume that Gas powered leafblowers are lighter or did you do some research?
I did a Quick check and found that electric leafblowers are way lighter and allow you to carry around some extra batteries, without carrying more overall.
The Husqvarna battery BLi30 weights 1.9kg. Considering Gas powered leafblowers from Husqvarna are often 6-8kg heavier (up to 10kg for the big ones), you can carry around at least 3 extra batteries without adding weight.

Imo the biggest argument is the price.
I think they will eventually make sense. Extra batteries are very heavy and expensive though (I only have experience with Husqvarna and Stihl)
