Your social circles must be very different from mine if everyone you know uses their microwave for cooking, rather than just reheating leftovers.

There’s a bit of irony here. A lot of commercial kitchens already rely heavily on microwaves and rapid heating equipment. In many restaurants the microwave is a very important tool in the workflow rather than something unusual. Do your friends not eat out much?

They don't cook food in a microwave, though. They reheat it.

The food have been cooked in industrial ovens in the factory.

Sort of, although there's importance nuance. One would be surprised how often microwaves get used in proper commercial kitchens, as in places making their own food & not reheating stuff from a central commissary. But it's not being used in the way one likely pictures when they hear this. An example is that microwaves are great for par cooking vegetables, especially potatoes.

Does everyone you know work at a restaurant?
