I think most electric kettles are a bit slower there due to normal outlets only being 110V, but not all kitchens have 20A outlets(probably most do nowadays?), so the kettles made for the USA market tend to be 1.6KW so they can run off a 15A outlet if needed, whereas ones made for 240V countries tend to be 2KW.
Should still be way faster to use a kettle than an air fryer though as I’d assume the air frier would likely be limited to 1.6KW too?
The air fryer either superheats or melts the mug, depending on its material. You either scald your hands picking it up like you would grab it from the microwave, or you burn your house down.
American kettles are a lot faster than anything else Americans have access to, except a microwave. That does a mug of water in one minute. As a trade off it seriously degrades the mug over time.

Probably only if your mugs are made of wood 😂
Or plastic
That’s not a mug, that’s a cup 😂

We also just don’t really need to boil large quantities of water all at once.
120V is the American outlet. Japan uses electric kettles juat fine at 100V. I think the reason they arnt super prevalent is cultural. Not speed.
