Hoe much microwave popcorn is consumed in USA families generally?

I've never seen a microwave with that setting. I can't even think of anyone that would need it, let alone over engineer an appliance over.

I haven't seen many microwaves without a popcorn button since the 90s. We usually skip over the few that don't when we need to shop for a new microwave (which I've bought two microwaves in the last twenty years, so not a common expense). I'd consider it a basic function, not over-engineering.

If there's a microphone installed specifically for that it kind of is, though.

Personally, 1-2x/month.

It is common enough here. I go through periods of buying microwave popcorn every once in a while and stop. I use the microwave button every time.
