It'd be real freakin awesome if every IoT device didn't still rely on 2.4Ghz

Cheaper wi-fi NIC for cheap devices. Won’t change. Those devices use so little bandwidth and often are placed all over the house so 2.4G’s greater ability to pass through walls / floors makes 2.4G ideal for those devices.

But also prone to interference whenever the microwave is used. My wireless headphones lose their shit when the microwave kicks on

I think the more expensive microwave body offers better isolation.

Same happened to me.

I bought a new microwave.

Tell me about it. I find that stupid as hell.

It's a good excuse to use your old router on a separate network for those devices. If you have a smart enough switch, you can even keep them completely off your LAN, which can be good for security. YMMV though, and if you need direct access it won't work that way.
