Probably not.

The use of plasma in industrial processing has enabled a lot of computer technology. It’s been well studied for nearly 100 years.

I work at a machine that makes plasma from a giant microwave (though we call them gyrotrons instead of magnetrons when they pull 50 kW).

Yes, but now you can make plasma and microwave popcorn simultaneously with just one device!
