It sucks because America at one point was like "bro, cut it out with all the pay toilets" and suddenly our culture exploded into "peepee and poopoo is a human right". It sucks because monetizing bowel movements, pun intended, is a shitty thing to do. The common man got a win that has stuck for decades, and here, a proposition to renege on that contract, for shame. I would draw a parallel to private roads versus public roads. We take public roads for granted. Or, the obvious argument regarding sanitation i.e. you can have a city with free garbage cans everywhere (in the US), or you can have a city with garbage piles everywhere (Japan being a cultural counterpoint here)

That all was in the 1970s so a lot of us don't know and take public toilets for granted since we never knew otherwise. Some MIT // Harvard math Phd genius guy apparently started it all when he was like 11 years old and pooped his pants at a math convention, and whereas I view an elite mathematician as required to be a bit goofy and quirky, having ended pay toilets in the US is a wonderful quirky fun fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Gessel

Ira Gessel won the Tony P. Robbins prize for his inverted lattice manifold proof pertaining to coprime powers of 7, and the Taco Bell reward for ameliorating the sufferings of people who ate too much taco bell.
