I guess people who only microwave frozen meals don't need a
dishwasher.
What do they do when the microwave dies?
We had a microwave over the stove when we moved in. A few years
later we got rid of it and put in a proper vent hood. My husband
built a shelf for a smaller microwave above the base cabinet next
to the stove. When his shoulder crapped out and he didn't want
to reach up to grab hot stuff out of the microwave, we moved the
microwave down to the countertop.

We run the dishwasher every day. Only sharp knives and nonstick
pans are washed by hand.
