Note that I'd not claimed microwave ovens WERE coded in BASIC but,
rather, used BASIC as an example of how "complex (simple)" the
application is.

(Too!) Many small applications are still coded in ASM in the
belief that this gives better control over resources/application
size.

We have a MCU controlled *toaster*; wanna bet the application
is two pages of ASM?
     heating_element(ON)
     while (temperature < setpoint) {
        blink_LED()
     }
     eject_toast()
I'd wager the code in our furnace isn't much more complex -- and
there much primarily to report errors for troubleshooting
(blinkenlites)

The complexity of the user interface seems to be a driving factor in
the complexity of the codebase in many deeply embedded products.
I.e., the control algorithms being simpler than the interactions
with the user.
