I agree. Using the microwave outlet should be fine. At the end of the day I feel jumpering the switch or removing it and putting a blank plate in its place to make the existing outlet over the cabinets live is the best solution because in all the installations I've been at, most use an wifi switch so they can turn these lights on and off either with Alexa or Google.
