Because their surface has been compromised. For example, stoneware is microwave safe, but once it has a chip or crack in the glaze, it begins to absorb rather than deflect the heat.
If you are not sure if something is microwave safe, place a glass of water in the microwave next to the plate, without touching. Turn the microwave on high for one minute. The water should be warm and the plate should be cool.

Why does a microwave oven turntable rotate in either direction?
The turntable in a microwave oven is driven by an alternating current motor which may start in either direction at random and continues to travel in that direction until stopping. The reason for using a turntable in a microwave oven is that the microwave energy is not evenly distributed across the oven. The turntable allows the food to receive an equal amount of energy by turning across the uneven microwave field. The microwave energy is turned to heat within the food. It actually does not matter in which direction the turntable rotates in order to evenly cook the food.
