It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.
Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the [microwave] oven while it’s running.
How's it not safe to open the oven while running? Just don't touch anything without mitts and keep your face back.
They meant the microwave
Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.
