The only purpose a microwave serves in the first place is to heat as quickly as possible, and coffee and popcorn and hot pockets etc are not made any better by going slower. It is perfectly reasonable for the default to be 100%.

It doesn't matter that you can produce a nicer result by going slower. You can also produce a nicer result by using a regular oven and fresh ingredients.

The defined purpose of a microwave is to serve a different priority. A microwave with any other default is a dull saw blade.
