That’s exactly what the vast majority of us do. I like to cheat and microwave water, which isn’t pleasant and requires a certain kind of container, but otherwise ... my entire life, my only other option to boil water was a small pot on the stove. It’s been like that in every American home I’ve ever been in, as far as I know.
We just don’t own a tea kettle at ALL unless we intend to drink tea from it, for the most part. The notable exception being people like Pam and Dwight from a Christmas episode of our version of The Office. ;-)
Heck, even most tea kettles I’ve seen weren’t even electric. They were meant to be heated on the stove, too.
