Exactly. Both numbers are interesting, because electricity will likely be scaled up in the same proportions. If we're comparing countries, we should use total energy, but if we're just looking at progress within a country, looking at electricity generation is totally valid.
Well, from where I stand it's a useful number to understand the value of electrification. You hear a lot of misinformation along the lines of "why move to EV/heat pumps/whatever if the electricity they use is made by burning gas".
Which is a big "if", and knowing what the energy mix is in your country/area is an important rebuttal and answer to that particular question.
