What prevents this from being done with a microwave?

You can¹t do great cuisine with microwave.

See above. Try some scrambled eggs.

what about the other 99.999999% of "great cuisine"? Not that many
understand "great cuisine" to mean scrambled eggs anyway (which
can be made perfectly well without a microwave).

have you tried cooking a meal from its ingredients in a
microwave? Think chilli con carne, for instance.

There is no particular conflict between microwave ovens and great
cuisine. A microwave oven is a heating device, just like many other
heating devices, and it can have its place any kitchen, no matter what
type of cuisine that kitchen produces.

Not that many understand "great cuisine" to mean scrambled
eggs anyway (which can be made perfectly well without a
microwave).

Microwaves do a better job, in part because the cooking is so even, and
in part because no oil or other stuff is required. Scrambled eggs from
a microwave are very fluffy and delicious. Add a bit of butter, bacon
bits, and pepper, and they're quite heavenly.

Some meals, yes. There's nothing particularly unusual about a microwave
as compared to other methods of cooking.

Artichokes are cooked off best in a microwave, but if you choose to
stuff them... that will take a broiler for the best results.
