It would have been damn hard for them to come up with that name before around 1950 when the Microwave Oven was invented. But the first home models, and general public knowledge of the tech, didn't even come around until the late 60's/early 70's. I specifically remember the first one I saw in a house in 1974. So, to your point, I like calling it a Cajun Microwave even if not historically accurate since, you know, there are no microwaves. I think the name comes from it being a magic box that Cajuns put raw food into and great food came out cooked.

I played a gig at a pig roast thrown by two semi-famous chefs in Atlanta and they properly called it "China Box" and it was damn good. The eyeball is the best part, like a pork oyster. Put that on a cracker duuuuude.
