I mean there's really not much they can do about it, nor is it really their fault. Microwaves basically have to operate at around 2.4 Ghz as that is the frequency neighborhood that allows them to most efficiently heat the types of materials that our foods are typically composed of. They also existed long before Wifi did. I'm assuming the problem you're complaining about is when you have your phone or something in your kitchen and it nukes your wifi when you turn the microwave on. Keep in mind, your wifi router is probably putting out 100 mW of power while your microwave is putting out 1000+ watts, and you're probably much closer to your microwave than your router when this occurs. Microwaves do a pretty good job of containing all that energy, but it's not perfect, especially if you want a nice window on the front to see when your popcorn's popped. They probably only need to leak like .01% of the energy in order to kill your wifi. In theory though you should have better luck with this issue if your device is on a 5 or 6Ghz band rather than 2.4.
