OK
Option1) Drill a hole in the cabinet above the microwave and let the cord
come threw the bottom of it in a place where can goods and other groceries
are stored and frequently used and replaced. wire would be constantly
subjected to having something accidentally sat on it or plug accidentally
bumped.
Option2) Place a UL listed plug on the end of the home wiring and plug the
microwave solidly into it. The plug will be in the hollow space in the wall
behind the microwave. In this location it will be the same as option one but
just hidden inside the wall in a nice safe location where it will never be
bumped, touched, or even seen by anyone.
You are telling me Option one is the better, safer, less likely to cause a
problem one?

Option 3) a properly installed receptacle mounted in a box in the wall.
