Shouldn't we have faster microwaves by now giving out a few
kW? They were invented decades ago.

High power microwaves (1MW) are used in industry in for
example ore extraction/rock pulverizing.
1MW into a cup of water is not pretty, explodes the water
contents and breaks the cup.

I don't need a MW, but the usual 600W to 900W in domestic ovens
is pitiful. What's wrong with 2kW?

too expensive

1200 watt consumer microwaves are widely available. Check your
Walmart or whatever you have.

1200W isn't much more than the 900W most are.

Hehehe.. Yea, it is. You'd think there wouldn't be a noticeable
difference in 1000 vs 1100 too, but, there is.. You have to adjust
cooking times for stuff accordingly. I have a totally destroyed
burrito and super heating science lesson as a result of 100 watt
difference; a measily 100 watt difference.

Yes you have to adjust the times. But it's not what I'd call noticeable as in "woah that food was ready quicker". For everything, I need a factor of 2 to be happy. A CPU that's twice as fast. A hard disk that's twice as big, a car with an engine with double the horsepower.
