Making better kettles is easier when your entire electric grid is optimised for it.

Seriously, 220 volts will just always get you a faster boil than 120. It's physics.

We have 240 in kitchens but don't use it for counter top stuff

We have 400V/16A, three phases, in kitchens for the proper stuff. That's 19kW, if I remember correctly. Your strong power is like our standard power (240V/16A).

not a kitchen appliance plug, but 38.4kW(400*32*3) standard one. I love living in Europe.

And it’s 2 phase

Here in the UK you can have 240V x 32A with three phases. That's how you get domestic 22kW chargers for EVs, lol. Regular single phase kitchen wiring is 240V x 32A giving us 7kW hobs.
