I love a good, informative troll.

I can see that your microwave is important to you, but to me “I don’t care” doesn’t really capture how little I care about my microwave.
I think the one we have is probably the cheapest available when we bought it 8 years ago. The buying decision probably took less than 1 minute, without hyperbole. I only ever use one button, I just press start n times until the timer says something reasonable.
When buying this stuff I don’t really see a risk of being locked into any bullshit because all microwaves can perform their basic function of heating food.

Sorry this just isn’t my experience. I’ve never encountered a microwave which doesn’t start when you press start. If I had one that was faulty I would discard it and buy another one for $20.
Well I’m glad you’ve been lucky but that’s all it is, you’re a bit out of touch.
It’s not faulty, it is that way by design. And this is basically the standard nowadays. Just look at most TVs - trying to open an app on one is like pulling teeth, it lags to high heaven just navigating a menu.
Microwaves might be cheap ($20 though? Jeez where do you live! They start at £50-£80 minimum here) but I was just using that as an example to prove the point. Boilers aren’t cheap.
Meh. Maybe I am a bit out of touch, but honestly you might be too.
There’s a whole cohort of people, I daresay most people, who wouldn’t bother looking at reviews to purchase this type of item.
If today is the day I’m going to buy a washing machine, then I go to a shop that sells them, I select one based on price vs features, arrange delivery, and leave.
