TimwiHot take: you don't need a microwave oven at all. I've been living without one for 12 years now and I don't miss it. It's surprisingly rare for the instructions on food packaging to require a microwave; they almost always have options for ovens or stoves, too.
DessertStormsHot take: some people are disabled and find a microwave easier and/or safer to use.
Another hot take: many more people are poor, and using a microwave is not only significantly cheaper in terms of electricity use, it also takes much less time to cook in, time not being seen as a resource when it's those who have little of it being discussed.
Yours isn't a hot take, it's a privileged one. And there's nothing wrong with that, or the fact that not using a microwave works for you, it's the assumption that everyone else can do the same as you if only they'd thought about it sooner, that you should probably reconsider.
