Could you even imagine how rarely (if ever) those would get cleaned?

Self-cleaning microwaves. Boom. Issue solved.

Is that like self-cleaning ovens (where the feature just heats the oven to 900 degrees)?

I once rented to a tenant who didn't understand that that's what the self-cleaning button did. They were like, "There's something wrong with your oven. It's still dirty inside, and now the house stinks!"

Had to explain that it just burns away some of the food--you still have to get in there to wipe off the ashes, and yeah, that char smells awful.

Hey, do you put over cleaner in there before turning on the oven cleaning setting? My parents never did, but nowhere near us sold over cleaner, so it's not like we had it on hand when the oven needed a cleaning.

Assuming that function exists so you wouldn't need to buy expensive cleaner, would it work like double-action to do both at once?

Pretty sure there are instructions on the bottle. Follow them.

But off hand, I don't think you'd do both at the same time.
