i could see having something in there ready to go, and waiting until the meat hits a certain temperature to turn it on. If the microwave and the thermometer can both make it to the same service that could be automated. Since so few people run on premiss home automation that would require internet access. It is way easier to connect to a phone if the device and app just know to connect to a spot on the internet. port forwarding and whatnot are a pain for some people. That said I suppose the real reason is the company is collecting marketing data.
