Yup yup.

Tossing is a very fast way to flip food in a pan and get even cooking - for ex: sauteing anything (vegetables, shrimp), fried rice - much faster than using a spatula. Swirling and tossing is also a fast way to make pasta + pasta water thicken a sauce and if you want exactly al dente you don't want it sitting in the pan longer than needed.

This is much harder to do on induction. You can lift the pan much higher to avoid banging the pan but the heat stops right away and then you have to very gently put it back down. The other thing is on a semipro gas range, the grates are designed so you can slide pots and pans around the whole cook top. You don't have to lift the pots and you can use the space in between the burners.

But, Mille is right. Just depends on how important this is to you. Induction cooktop is perfectly usable. Our induction cooktop gets hotter than the typical 15k-17k btu burners on a semi pro gas cooktop so yes searing works well.
