Like the entire “hurr British food bad” meme in general, it was just made up by Americans who have very little knowledge of the going on of things outside North America.
I’m gonna get crucified for that statement, but it’s true.
You’re right, British foods are typically baked, fried, or roasted. I really don’t know where this idea of boiling stuff comes from. Boiling is actually something I find unusually rare in British cooking.

In Italy it’s common to joke about British food too.
Yes, because the stereotype was started by Americans.
Another common stereotype is bad teeth, despite British teeth being healthier than that of the US (or Italy) by a fair margin.
Because of the US’s ability to publish media globally, they dictate a lot of stereotypes in media.
