The primary benefit of not using a microwave is that you're avoiding the potential health risks associated with microwaves, such as increased risk of cancer and other illnesses. Additionally, it's also better for the environment since microwaves use large amounts of energy and can produce a lot of heat in enclosed spaces. Finally, cooking food without a microwave allows you to control the amount of time and temperature used when preparing meals.
