For the duration of the microsaccade, you're blind. So if something changes onscreen it's much harder to see.

IIRC people have used small orientation changes during microsaccades for redirected walking in VR. You feel like you're walking straight but you're actually curving back on yourself.

Edit: I think that was just detecting full-on saccades but a microsaccade version would be smoother and harder to detect.
