Sadly it will probably take something like this before most people consider using a composting toilet, which requires no connecting infrastructure, is not dependent on water pressure or electricity, never clogs or spills over or fails to flush, uses byproducts to stay sanitary, gives you fertilizer after 6 months, and unlike its cousin the portapotty does not smell offensive or use harsh chemicals.
most people* live in apartments and have no way of using composting toilets. i’m not going to occupy my balcony with several buckets of slowly decaying poop and sawdust
i have no data for this, just assuming based on people i know
I haven’t had that happen to me in the last 10+ years of using flush toilets, but I don’t live alone and other people are going to make mistakes.
No need to turn the problem of opaque and proprietary technology into a case of victim blaming. Take control of your means of existence with technology you can easily understand and replicate for yourself, that doesn’t put you at the mercy of the bourgeoisie.
Shit in a bucket* and flush with a cup of sawdust, it’ll change your life.
*Or a sheltered trench, or preferably a latrine with two seasonal storage compartments.

oh no, clogs happen, i meant overflowing a composting toilet is something you can do if you try hard enough and eat poorly enough.
