Not least because a heat pump is 300% efficient, whereas a hydrogen boiler can only ever be below 100%.
Storing energy and transporting it in hydrogen form requires a whole series of wasteful energy conversions.
The process is simply inefficient compared to delivering the energy in electrical form, for which a large and well maintained distribution network already exists to pretty much every domestic UK property.
There will be a small industrial market for hydrogen, but heat pumps will dominate domestic heating because of simple energy efficiency principles.

Heat pumps are going to beat out hydrogen.
