Why does heat from the microwave make bread floppy while heat from a toaster makes bread crispy?

Question

I made a toaster waffle for myself this morning. Growing impatient, I popped it out before it was all the way done. As I was buttering it, I noticed parts of the waffle were still cold. Since there was already butter and syrup on it, I couldn’t put it back in the toaster. I threw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and it came out floppy instead of crispy. What gives?

Same reason going to Florida will frizz your hair while going to Arizona will dry out your skin, it’s the humidity.
