They are pretty common in America, and have been for quite a while. Less so than in the UK (which is probably your point). But still pretty easy to find in my experience.
I got one about 20 years ago from Target - nothing too fancy, just an Oster or something. It finally died a couple of years ago and I got a new one from Amazon, where they had a very wide selection.
No disagreement. They’re available but less common than other heating methods. I feel like stovetop is probably the most common but microwave is certainly in there too.

What’s wrong with the kettle? Or are they not commonplace in the states?
American power is too weak for kettles.
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Nothings wrong with the kettle, but nothings wrong with the microwave either. I use a kettle and it’s fine.
Electric kettles are indeed less common, I understand that it’s because the 120V power is less effective for heating
