Because like everything else microwaves are made in China and companies have thrown Quality Control out the window. Most companies do not want to manufacture high quality items anymore but want them to break down as soon as you start using them. It is the biggest scam that the American public has fallen for without putting up a fight.

What will happen if you put a rock in the microwave?

DO NOT ATTEMPT! I tried this once, and it ended very bad. I put a rock in the microwave, and set the timer for 10mins and 10 seconds. After some time, the microwave made a KABOOOOOOOOOM, and the microwave door flew open. My rock (I drew a face on him, and named him George) had exploded! :( There was pieces (very hot) of George everywhere, there was dust everywhere, and the room smelled like firecrackers. Oh, and besides that, I broke the microwave and I probably will have to buy a new one for the person who owns it. Also, if I was standing any nearer to the microwave, and would probably ended up in a hospital... VERY DANGEROUS!
