No, those were the predecessors to penny-farthings. Closer to modern bikes in design but no suspension including solid tires made the ride very rough.

I think you might have a different understanding of support than most. Nobody’s saying that the code to run this 30-year-old hardware should be enabled by default nor that distros should have them included by default.
That’s very different from whether the code is in the kernel in case someone wants to compile a custom kernel that does support it. Source code that’s disabled doesn’t add bloat to running systems.

Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.
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.
No, no. You have it right. It’s the same in both places.
