Designed for the "Eco-conscious" consumer who's cool with dumping their waste directly into the ocean and massively increasing their carbon footprint by having literally every necessity of life delivered to them via dudes in fishing boats using 2-stroke outboards.

The ocean is quite efficient at composting organic waste and deliveries are via electric drone, not fishing boat.

Then what was the problem with cities piping their sewage directly into the ocean?

Many coastal cities still do this when it rains a lot due to 'overflow' sewer/storm systems. It generally doesn't cause major issues.

It has directly caused hepatitis infections in swimmers.

I think you should start by dumping your sewage directly in the street and argue with your neighbors that the impact isn't major. Report back on how it goes.
