I don't think your statement is correct. In fact, thermosyphon reboilers are often used in these services. In amine regenerators, it's quite common to use forced circulation reboilers to limit the film temperature.

Then I would like to know why kettle type reboilers are used. What is advantage over thermosiphon?

Try a Google search. There you will find the answer. Be sure you seek a reputable source. It's not uncommon for designers to employ the wrong equipment for a service. You might find some useful material at red-bag.

Kettle reboilers have been used in amine regeneration service partially because of tradition - and partly because of a characteristic that we've mentioned and discussed in our Forums for many years now: the kettle design has inherent turn down capabilities.
A thermosyphon reboiler has a very "tight" or rigid design for service duty and little or nil turn down capability.
As Bobby infers, this should be common knowledge passed on at the class room level or found in the good text books.
