If you're in a humid climate, toner will clump while ink won't dry. I've noticed that in SE Asia, inkjets are more popular, likely for this reason.

The inside of a home is rarely a humid climate.

I quit buying inkjets 20 years ago in southwest Florida.

There are places in the tropics where a lot of the houses aren't kept closed up with AC running constantly. A lot of South-East Asia, for example.
