we'll stop calling it squirty cream when you stop microwaving tea
US electrical outlets are 110v, so our electric kettles take twice as long to boil. Stovetop is fine but takes even longer. Microwave is the fastest way to heat water, at least for us. But also it doesn’t matter how you boil water.

It really does matter. A kettle brings water to a rolling boil which incorporates a lot of air into the water. I had "tea" made with microwaved water many times in the US and it tastes completely wrong - flat and weird. It makes a huge difference.

youve got a shitty kettle then, mine heats the tea fine

It's a pretty nice CuisinArt, we use it every day for tea. I'm not saying kettles should not be used, I'm saying they quite matter of factly work slower in the US than microwaving.

110v doesn't matter - what wattage is the kettle? Assuming you have W is the US? A 3kw kettle will boil water very quickly, though in the US it would be.. er.. 27 amps. How powerful are your electricity circuits?

15 amps. Not enough. Hence slower
