Since the beginning I had microwave ovens without a turning plate, because heat source is radiation, not fire. I can't understand why new ones have a turning plate now. Is there something I don't understand, or is it really a useless feature?

I'm pretty sure every microwave I ever had, had a turntable. I had a microwave from Montgomery Ward. The source of the radiation is on the side wall so the closer side gets more.

I have the opposite. Back in the day all microwaves had turning plates, now none do.
