Am I unreasonable to be turned off by a house with an island range?

We're in the process of house hunting for a home with more space and I want a nice large island/open concept if possible in our future home. I come across many listings that appear otherwise perfect, but if they have a range on the island - specifically WITHOUT a hood - it's practically a deal-breaker for me, and I'm curious if I'm being unreasonable (i.e. maybe it's not as bad as it sounds, maybe it's not that difficult to add a hood)

How could the absence of a hood in these scenarios be viable?

Here's a photo (courtesy of a Zillow listing) of a kitchen I would have totally loved, but I imagine the pendant lights and ceiling would be gross within a month of heavy kitchen use (our current microwave vent doesn't cut it and all surrounding surfaces up to ceiling get greasy).

Thoughts? Experiences with this?
