I don’t know. I kind of enjoy the old ritual of putting my scrambled eggs into the microwave, giving things a couple of minutes, pulling the bowl out and scraping the done parts off the sides, then putting the bowl back in and finishing it all off.
When my parents got a microwave in the early 80s, we tried some of the recipes. I can still remember the taste of the eggs. Which is why I never cook eggs in a microwave.
Best uses for a microwave? Heat up home-canned green beans (remove lid and just put the entire jar in the microwave) and heating up Krispy Kreme donuts (10-12 seconds, depending on whether it’s filled).
Heating up leftovers also work, especially after Thanksgiving.

To add another note to the topic, although a microwave typically does a crappy job of actual cooking, its utility for reheating either refrigerated leftovers or many (not all) frozen foods is so great that it’s my #1 most important countertop appliance. It’s a very rare day that I don’t use it at least once.
Mine is quite an old Panasonic that was a replacement for the first microwave I bought as a youngster, so it’s just the second microwave I’ve ever owned and I’m no spring chicken. I’m surprised it’s still working. If it ever broke I’d be out in a flash to get a new one.
I still have one that we bought in 1998 or so. When I retired in fall of 2022 I left the microwave I had in my office for the next occupant. I don’t remember when I bought it, but I started working there in the fall of 2000 so it was older than that.
I wish I’d had as much luck with the over-the-range microwaves, but at least we’ve had another around to pick up the slack.
