2.6 was chosen based on empirical heat penetration testing for typical target food sizes, e.g. Potatoes.

GE lobbied for 2.4 instead so they could emit a noisy harmonic from a crystal based 1.2 system so the FCC agreed.

Cool! I came across some quoras that suggested the electronics were easy for 2.4, but didn't give further detail. Noisy harmonics does sound useful for cooking!
