So then the recommendation should be ‘never boil filtered water in the microwave, and never boil filtered water in a new pot on a stove’, not ‘never boil water in a microwave’.
Edit: or maybe ‘Never boil filtered water in a glass or ceramic container’ that makes it clear that the method of heating is irrelevant, it’s the condition of the water and container that is important.

I’ve boiled water in the microwave thousands of times, it’s never been superheated. It’s does not easily happen in a microwave.
Every time I’ve seen someone test out this microwave myth, they use distilled water and a new container.
