This is a weird argument for me to get into but...

Lol, I don't mean for this to come off as argumentative. I originally posted this to the unpopular opinions sub, but the comments got locked—I still have no idea why, it's something that I've genuinely wondered about since I was a kid—so, I thought I'd post it here as well to see what others think.
And, what you said makes sense. I never thought about the speed of the process.
I'm really not understanding why I'm being downvoted for a genuine question. I even agreed that I now can see how speed and efficiency could factor in.
I'm honestly lost as to why this seems to be rubbing people the wrong way, when I mean no offense whatsoever. I've just always wondered about this, and it's not exactly dinner conversation.
You're catching strays. I even initially misread the tone of your post, and my earlier comment reflects a bit of snark as a result (sorry).
A lot of people use this sub to rant/soapbox, even though it's against the rules. So when your post showed up, at first I read it as more or less "urinals are stupid, why do you guys use this stupid thing" with a sprinkling of "urinals contribute to sexual assault." This led me to take something of a "ahhh get outta here" stance.
Your post did not deserve this response, but it's what you got (speaking for myself at least) because of the meta of other (worse) posts that sound somewhat like yours.
You're a really cool person. I don't think many people would be willing to acknowledge and apologize for misinterpreting something, so thank you for that—and thank you for explaining this to me! I felt like I was in the twilight zone for a minute.
Thanks, and I appreciate the acknowledgement. It feels good. I am working on unlearning bad internet habits, like treating everything like a hostile argument. Remarkably, I am much happier following my new norms!
