Then it has the weight and looks natural, and no need...I get why they don't have liquid in the cups. But why can't they throw a few fishing weights into the bottom of the cup, and put a lid on it?

I remember the Toshiba microwave my family bought in 1994. The turn table rotated at exactly 6 RPM. Every 10 seconds the item was back at the door. And it also ran the turntable after time expired, if needed. So if you cooked something for, say, 1m04s, it would run the turntable for 6 extra seconds to return to the starting position.
No microwave I’ve had since does this.
The other thing that was notable about that microwave is that it came with a comprehensive guide on how to cook various dishes, including advice on how to place aluminum foil over certain parts of the food to shield it, like chicken feet. I was always told never to put metal in the microwave (but of course I did for fun, don’t tell on me). But this official guide said it could be done.
I wonder if that manual is online somewhere…
