It's all about the power. A handheld radio is ~5W, so much less than a ~1000W microwave oven. RF burns happen and high power transmitters have warnings against it...just not for the people who live nearby towers or the proposed 'micro towers' for 5G's poor range.
As far as heating effects you're correct, however for biological effects the power/effect ratio is not always linear. Many experiments have found that in some cases lower doses can do more harm. Think of it in a way of "flying under the radar" of the cellular metabolic system. At higher doses there seems to be some sort of protection effect kicking in (in some cases). Then at even higher doses the protection effect is overwhelmed.
For example this latest cancer study on rats that was just published, noted this particular effect in their experiments.

It's just radio, exactly the same as when you make a call or join someone's Wi-Fi. What a load of shit.

So, you use your radio to heat up food?
