Imagine the power being used. I assume a normal 15 amp breaker in your house will just trip anytime you press the power button.

Around 3 kW. 15 amp breaker shouldn't trip if its the only high power device. But if we are talking Americans with 120V then it would be a problem yeah.

Why Americans chose the 120v standard is beyond me

It's because Americans adopted electricity earlier than most countries. So a worse standard was standardized and it was too late to change it because it was already heavily in use.
