Lol at everyone in the replies inventing crazy conspiracy theories.
As someone who has microwaved tea a bunch of times because my workplace didn’t have a kettle, let me bestow upon you the ~~~truth~~~:
Microwaved water is slow to boil (especially compared to a 2500 W kettle for us chad 230V enjoyers), about 2:30 for one cup IIRC and the cup will be uniformly heated including the handle which is annoyingly hot to the touch (and I’m not particularly squeamish with hot things).
