I mean this is a premium brand with added import mark ups. But yeah, pretty standard in most homes in Korea, China and Japan at least.
East Asia is cold as fuck in the winter time and typically drink a lot more hot beverages and soup/noodles than westerners. Plus, Japan where these things are absolutely everywhere only uses 100 volt in their power grid, so a kettle would take even longer than in the US.
