My mother (a boomer) died of an asbestos cancer (one of the better kinds of asbestos deaths) because her mother used asbestos heat spreaders on the stove

Those were asbestos cloth and they slowly disintegrated during use (between the stove and the pans) putting asbestos fibres into the air

I mean it wasn't banned until the 70s.

Depends on where you live. In some countries it wasn't banned until the 80s, 90s, or even later.

It's still in use in many parts of the world
Russia is the biggest asbestos exporter

Everything there is trying to kill you!
