Cheap ones are just a timer that works for most common microwave popcorn packages.
Good ones detect the first popped kernel and then go for another 30s, as stated on most microwave popcorn packages

iirc there are also some that detect humidity and infer when to stop from that somehow

I had no idea. I always assumed mine just did 3:30. I need to check.

That might be how the first kernel popping gets detected.
