Could you please give a link to the regs etc which support this claim?

There is legislation in force about the manufacture of domestic vacuum
cleaners above a certain power input. The idea being to force the makers
to improve their efficiency. But it doesn't apply to industrial machines.

The kettle thing is simply lies,

Nope.

since you can't increase the efficiency of that to any major extent.

That one isn't to increase the efficiency, it's to reduce the peak
of demand on the electricity grid when all those people put
the kettle on during an ad break in a major national event etc.
