Electric kettles are much better designed, and are what the parent comment is talking about. This [0] is the canonical white-labeled kettle that you can have for 30 of your hard-earned canukistanian kopeks, and are the average kettle around here. No scalding since the lid's handles are deep enough that you can open it on an angle to direct the steam away from you. Big handle on the side instead of the top. Switch on the bottom away from hot metal casing. And the kettle just lifts off the base, so you're not futzing around with a cable while pouring hot water. No idea why these aren't common everywhere.
