Nonsense. It's not as nice as if done in a pan, but it's not far off. You just do it in a glass bowl, open the door and stir it every 20 seconds or so once it's hot. It is useful when doing a fry-up and you have run out of hob space. Washing the glass bowl is also easier than scraping egg off a metal pan.
Your mind will be blown when I tell you that the best way to cook bacon is between two steel trays in an oven.

That bacon just sounds messy - bung it in the oven but significantly overlap the rashers so they don’t go biscuity.

A colleague and I used to do this at work. We are both able to produce exceptional results that would make MPW cry into his bain marie.
I wouldn't do it at home though as I find the constant opening, closing, and holding an eggy fork a hassle. That said the work microwave is counter height and the home is head height so that might be a factor. Also at home I'm usually timing it with other stuff which is harder to do in the microwave.
The rice chat is fascinating. Although I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the single best thing about rice cookers...
... that close to burnt sticky bit on the bottom.
Although I assume all of the fancy ones linked here can't do that. Which seems like a tragedy and indicative of how far people have strayed from the true path bound up by all the marketing hype and faux-USPs.

Scrambled eggs in the microwave is an absolute abomination.
