The third significant element in addition to the two you mentioned is motion. Static field does a lot more damage than a moving field.

Why is that? Is it because the tissues are exposed continuously at the same place?

Yes. Similar, but not the same as, a microwave. Take out the turntable and you'll get localised high temperature spots.

No. Microwave get hot spots because their antennas produce an uneven distribution of emery. This is further exacerbated by reflections in the microwave box, creating zones of high energy and low energy.
