yeah, ionization is literally defined as adding or taking electrons from something. so although microwaves don't ionize water, they ionize metals, if the metallic particles have some level of conductivity between them and form a body of sufficient size to tune to the radiation, acting as a receiver, and the electrons are then absorbed into surrounding tissue, and other things like oxygen or heavy metal particles, reducing them and making them active.
i personally don't see the value in most applications of microwave radios.
i saw a great saying on an antique phone in Funchal that said that when phones were tied to the walls we were more free.
i prefer desktop computers and when i walk out of the house i'm offline. offline time has become so scarce people don't realise how valuable it is. you can think.

also, it's pretty illogical talking about "ionizing water" because water IS ions. anything that dissolves in water is ionized by the water.
i think people have a mixed up perception that there is some connection with nuclear decay radiation and microwaves. there is not. most of what comes out of radiactive decay is mostly fragments of nuclei, alpha and beta particles, protons, neutrons. these cause cancer because they readily break anything they hit, especially DNA and proteins.
