Why does the Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro have a small opening angle and slow speed for the kettle lid?

The Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro has a small opening angle and slow speed for opening the lid due to the damping effect. The damping design is implemented for safety purposes, preventing hot water from splashing onto you when opening the lid.
Note:
The Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro's lid can be manually opened to around 30 degrees, which is suitable for the normal pouring and receiving of water. Additionally, it can be manually opened to around 70 degrees to clean the inside of the kettle.
