Why wouldn’t a microwave in the UK also be 3000W? Maybe it would instantly vaporize water and kill you when you open it?

It sounds like the issue is that UK may have weak microwaves compared to their kettles.

It would burn your food. Microwaves heat the outermost layer that contains water. That heat conducts inwards. It's the same reason you don't bake everything at 500F.

I'm not supposed to bake with oven's self clean feature?! Huh

They absolutely do. Many microwaves in the UK are about half the power of built in American microwaves. (Portable/countertop microwaves are extremely common, being around 700-800W usually)
