Why the fuck aren't all toilets now being made with a foot-pedal flush? Hell, I bet with a few design attempts, they could put a fucking exhaust fan under the bowl rim, too, with a small duct coming up from behind the toilet that you vet out through the ceiling. Why has actual toilet design not evolved much in 100+ years?

Consider what it would take to keep a fan clean in such an environment. Also, now I have to plug my toilet into power?

There’s nothing really wrong with toilets as they are. Simplifying surfaces so they’re easier to clean is a reasonable step.

The fan could be located up in the duct itself, not the toilet bowl, so that it's not near the toilet/water, etc.

From what I understand, japanese toilets are made for you.
