The difference in coffee varieties is a lot more nuanced than tea flavors so it makes more sense for tea to have more space even if it isn't drunken as much. It depends a lot on what part of the country you're in too.
People who drink a lot of tea just have kettles though... I don't know where myth that US kettles are slow came from.
American kettles are slow because you use 120V mains.
My US kettle can boil water in the time it takes me to grind beans and rinse my v60 filter, so it's fast enough for me
