Personally, I don't own the latter... and have no desire to. Microwave serves that need and more

If I'm not mistaken, using a microwave to heat water is significantly less efficient than an electric kettle; a lot of EM energy is wasted just bouncing around the cavity and heating up the air.

And an electric kettle will boil water quickly and controllably (no sudden boil-overs), often in less time than a microwave.

And more safely, as there is no possibility of superheating the water.
