Slanted Snow Plows, With Wheels (and Heated Handles)

Why don't you ever see shovels with wheels?
I hate shoveling snow. I really hate it. In fact, I'd like to officially say it right now, as the east coast prepares for a monster snow storm, that I can't stand shoveling snow. So, if anyone asks if I actually enjoy shoveling snow, just say no.
Am I the only one who feels this way? I don't think so. I think if you took a poll right about now asking 100 people if they like shoveling snow, you might actually get more than 100 no votes, because some will hate it so much, they'll vote twice.
You would think that if so many people hate shoveling snow, you would find some a ton of products in stores that make shoveling snow a little better... even a little?
Almost every single snow shovel on the market is barely better than the shovels that were being sold 100 years ago, which is odd. The wheel was invented long before that.
So why don't we see shovels with wheels?
To me, the perfect shovel would have a couple of wheels, a nice slanted plow head and if at all possible, a heated handle. Is that too much to ask for?
The slanted plow head would be just like the plows on trucks, designed to push the snow to the side. The wheels would make it glide along without hurting your back, and the heated handle... Look, I can dream, can't I?
