It could easily be done, but would only work if: you don’t stop the cycle manually by opening the door, or you are ok with the microwave quickly spinning your food (or liquid filled cup) to the starting position as soon as you do open the door.
when timer ends or stop button is pressed it should turn off microwaves but keep spinning until original position
when door is opened just stop everything immediately
This way you can stop the plate manually at any position but when operating microwave in the usual way you get the benefit of the cup always pointing the right way.
Have it calculate the amount of full rotations and round it down to the nearest whole number. Worst case scenario, your cup is static for 5–10 seconds before the microwave stops.
It would require variable speed motors and more complex chip and programming so it would be more expensive. Just spinning the plate at the same speed until it makes a full turn could be solved mechanically.
I mean, sure, but there are microwaves out there that measure the heat of food put in it to cook it automatically. I figure a variable speed to match an input time would be just a bit easier to accomplish than that.

No, what it should do is:

That can be done, just takes a more expensive Platten motor, and some more code in the control unit.
Better yet, change the rotation speed to match the timer.
