It is the same here on the bigger jobs although it has got me out of a few touchy spots where the water would not shut off and I crimped on a male adaptor and threaded a valve on.
I think the torch will probably become a thing of the past within the next few years as well.It will probably be like the lead and oakum and slowly disappear.The was a lot more work involved when we had the corking tools going.Time saver with modern tech.
My buddy Carl the Plumber and I just replaced almost all my Water Lines with Pex !!!
Then I came back in a soldered Ball Valves on all my stuff , so I can isolate in case we were to have a water leak or something goes bad , that way we can isolate and still have runnin water !!! (kitchen sink , bathroom sinks , outside hose bibs , tub , water heater etc...)
@fritzhvac Thanks Fritz; This stuff is amazing and so fast to put together.You can actually join a 4 inch copper Tee in a matter of a few minutes where as compared to soldering,it would take a fair amount of time.If this technology keeps up; plumbers won't be required. Enjoy the day....Al
That is very true.
But no matter how simple they make it some brain dead will always give us something to laugh at and then put right. :)

This stuff is being used all over the U.K on larger jobs but not so much on domestic.
I think it spells the end for our trusty blow lamps, and our copper skills guys. :(
