I mean, I have tried the microwave on a GFCI outlet with a normal breaker, and it didn’t trip. So, it’s at least not a current draw problem, which it shouldn’t be unless there was something wrong with the microwave. Also not turning on empty microwave empty.

Where is your microwave plugged in? General rule of thumb was that non-readily accessible plugs that only feed one device do not have to be AFCI protected (fridge, microwave etc). This was the case a few years ago and I doubt it has changed.
