      This is more interesting than I would’ve thought. I’m also sick right now so I may not be of entirely sound mind.

      This is what I recognise as a standard Mikrowelle control panel like I’ve been using all my life:

      You punch in a wattage, turn the knob to set the time, and then you press start. Older models would have a knob for setting watts too. Note the lack of a “popcorn” button.

      And this seems to be the standard when I ask Duckduckgo for “microwave”:

      Wot?

      It might be, where I live in the US all microwaves with a power setting ask you to set the power from 1-10 (implied to be percentages/10) with no hint as to the wattage except the label so you have to hunt for it.
