Yeah, me too. This is one of those instances where for this specific purpose, I kinda wish the manufacturers had access to the data of which features people use. All the complicated multi-timer stuff for cooking different types of foods is so rarely used that I wouldn't even trust that I know how to program it correctly if I ever wanted to. I imagine that if they had telemetry on feature use, they'd realize that everything but the most dirt-simple UI is completely wasted effort on their part. Of course, the bells and whistles are how they fill checkboxes, so there's a marketing aspect to it even if it's worthless. Most people are going to look at two otherwise equal microwaves and pick the one with the best feature list. BTW, amusingly enough, my microwave manages to overcomplicate even the "add 30 seconds" button, because after 7 presses, it switches to "add 60 seconds". You can't use it to do 4:00 because the 8th press goes from 3:30 to 4:30. :D Edit: I should add that I absolutely do not want my microwave to record telemetry and phone home with it. But if they could magically know that 99.99% of user scenarios could be covered without all the fancy features, I think that would be useful.
