Well also I’ve grown up around microwaves with questions wattage so rather than boiling or near boiling water you get slightly hotter than the tap water.
Eh it only really a factor for heating up water in particular due to the square cubed law. Doesn’t take that much energy to reheat leftovers or nuke two hot pockets.

For me it is faster to boil 1 mug of water in the microwave than to boil 0.5 L in the kettle (the marked minimum).
But personally I usually use the kettle especially I the winter. I fill it up first thing and do other things while it boils.
