Given the number of unqualified people that try to repair Microwave
ovens, a cutout switch is entirely justified. The fact that it wasn't
obvious should have been a clue that you shouldn't be messing with it.

Poking around the guts of a microwave without understanding the very
lethal voltages that can be present is just plain suicidal. You did
realize that a microwave is far more lethal than a TV, right?

More than one person has met an untimely end to their existence due to
their ignorance of the lethal voltages in a microwave. There is dangerous
and there is hazardous, and then there is absolutely lethal. Microwaves
fall into the last catagory.
