It's because they don't exist. You haven't established any facts that point to their existence. Assuming they exist is not proof of anything except wishful thinking.
And also because using them in this way is flagrantly ostentatious, unnecessary, and a waste of resources. Nor is there any evidence that the event was possible. I mentioned already that in order to melt all 4 wheels, a supposed DEW would need to attack from opposite sides. Good luck with that one. Or, how do you target a microwave weapon (picking wheels, for example)? You are limited to taking blind shots. (How to you find a target out of the ground clutter? That's a classic problem with radar.) What are the technical requirements to melt the wheels: intensity on target, beam spot diameter, line of sight distance? You haven't even established basic feasibility---and I don't back down from this, because I did target effects analysis for DEWs.
Accuracy to 1 cm is very good (I tip my hat) but completely inadequate for a microwave phased array; the projection field would be an incoherent interference pattern. How about the pointing requirement, satellite to satellite? If the array elements are pointed in uncontrolled or unknown directions, they will be unable to form a coherent beam. A real system would likely need to maneuver to attain the desired array geometry, and any maneuver would degrade the position accuracy. Oh, you could have laser radars between them. But you see that the system has a complexity floor of a GPS satellite, to which is added the complexity of a power generator package, a secure communication system, and a transmitter array. Explain to me again which launches (they are all announced) are candidates for such a satellite---and its orbital parameters. Show that ANY satellite passed overhead at a time consistent with the beginning of the fires.
As for embers, that's what happens in wildfires subject to strong winds. Nothing to cool an ember if it is motionless with respect to the wind that is carrying it. Happened in California. Happened in Tennessee. You can't hide behind the notion that this event was unique and therefore inexplicable.
A verbal claim about a photo of something that was not autopsied? No explanation of circumstances? Ever heard of thermal radiation? Fires emit this all the time. It's how we use them to cook.
Who knows why General Flynn says what he says? I don't have telepathy and neither do you. Moreover, puzzling questions have no definite answer. If I could insert my favorite answer, I would pick a fire-breathing dragon. No fire-breathing dragons? Well, there was a time when received opinion was that there were no okapis, either.
My arguments remain the same. I have provided more detail. You continue to wave your arms.
