Microwave awful state machine

The ‘End’ state in my amazing microwave

I have an old microwave. probably 20 years old.

It is working just fine, but I do have one complaint.

This microwave has an awful design flaw; after it’s done heating, it goes to ‘End’ state.

So what is the big deal with that? at that point you must click the ‘clear/off’ button if you want to run it again. You would expect that after it reaches that ‘end’ state, the user would be able to use it again as normal without the need to press a button to go to the ‘ready’ state.

I know it’s a first world problem but I thought it is a good example of a really bad design decision. The truth is that today even one extra click is not something we tolerate.
