I couldn't agree more. However the reason we have a Popcorn option on the microwave is because it makes the difference at the point of sale, not at the point of use. Most people when presented with two devices that essentially do the same thing, but one has more options will chose the one with more options because they have been lead to believe it's better.
Design is so often polluted by marketing. The direction of progress from concept to design to marketing to sale should be one way only.

- aqueueaqueue 2y agoThen a microwave manufacturer says "do not worry about the warning saying do not use popcorn mode because our one works!" But in seriousness don't rely on any auto turn off feature if it failing means a fire!
