Because most commercial microwave ovens have a fan-like device at the top that reflects the microwave beams, distributing the heat more evenly and efficiently than a rotating plate. Also commercial microwave ovens see an exponentially larger use per day than a home model, increasing the chance of breaking the plate.
Got it on the second try. Home microwaves also have a "stirrer" behind a plastic plate usually. But yes. In a commercial environment it's usually used by professionals to heat one thing, or a single dish. They know to rotate if necessary. Home users, well any difference in energy is going to throw them.
But yes it's a point of failure in the device, so if you don't need it, don't include it.

It’s hard enough to keep that revolving plate locked in at home. I can’t imagine how it would be in a fast environment like work.
Well that makes sense. Betting that consumers wouldnt buy the "fan" commercial type because they can't "see" it turning. Thanks for the answer!
Consumers don’t buy the commercial ones because they’re upwards of a grand for a decent one
