Feeling weird/outed this is a shitpost. Just last year searched for copper bottomed carbon steel pan for this exact reason. Didn’t find anything, but I still like the idea. Carbon steel is pretty shit at conduction.

Copper pans exist but they can be a pain to cook with. The high thermal conductivity means they heat up much fast than you expect, so it’s easier to accidentally burn stuff, and they also cool down much more quickly once off the heat which can also be annoying. Plus you need to worry about oxide formation and food sticking much more than you do wity steel pans.
