You drew a turbine on the top, how it’s simpler. If you just boil the water you can’t use its power, you need some mechanism to convert it to mechanical force.

Interestingly airplane engines had a similar evolution. Early airplanes, before WW1 had rotary engines, where the full engine rotated with the propeller, similar to the Aeolipile. It was later developed to radial engine, where there is a drivetrain between the propeller and the engine.

For example here are 1000s royalty free images of boiling kettles: https://pixabay.com/images/search/boiling kettle/
3. English is not my first language, I didn’t intended to have an impolite tone, in my head it sounded neutral
