That's why your microwave oven has a power setting. It toggles the magnetron on and off during cooking, so that your food cooks more evenly.

Yet it never does, unless maybe you have a $2000 microwave oven?

Yours doesn't toggle on and off when you use the power level controls? Maybe it's broken; this is a feature that all microwaves have, because it's so cheap to implement. Note that the lights and fans and things keep going; it's only the magnetron that turns on and off. You might hear a difference in the sound of the microwave, or a relay clicking when it toggles, but that's all.
