No excuses for the user interfaces. For the inner surfaces, however, I’m pretty sure they are intended to randomize the distribution of reflected internal radiation, which would, with smooth surfaces, likely bounce in very predictable ways, leading to local hot spots and cold spots.

Many of them are also noisy in their damn beep-beep-beeping, which cannot be shut off in any oven I've ever seen. Even worse are the ones that beep-beep-beep repeatedly if you don't open the oven door right away. As though it were some emergency.
And while I'm ranting: often an oven has a ridiculously cryptic user interface that one has to solve before using.
And why do their inside surfaces have to be so irregular, making cleaning difficult?

OK, so why are μwave ovens so damn noisy?
