I live in NA, and I have one. Most tea drinkers that I know have them, too. I don't know how I could live without one.

But I guess tea isn't as ubiquitous here. That's probably why people don't have kettles. They wouldn't use them enough to be worth the counter space.

I live in North America and would think someone was joking if they told me they don't have a kettle. Especially if they have cup noodles.

We just got one like a year ago, and we have had cup noodles and tea for well over a decade. It's really not hard to heat water in the microwave, it's just ~80sec on high.

I don't put the cup of noodles itself in the microwave because it's not microwave safe. If I'm making one serving, I'll probably still use the microwave because I don't want to get the kettle down from the cupboard.
