To be fair, that's just because the emission of microwave ovens is tuned to a resonance of water molecules. That said, I think that resonance is rather broad, so you could expect a fair amount of coupling at large power.

Also, microwaves can denature proteins; one symptom of massive microwave exposure is cataracts (from the proteins in the eye denaturing).

But man, I really hate charging cables!
