If Teflon is the ultimate non-stick material, why is it not used for toilet bowls, oven shelves, and other things we regularly have to clean?

In addition to the other answers I just want to add that Teflon has recently come under fire for being forever chemical (look up PFAS) and being pretty detrimental to the planet and humans. They don’t break down easily.
It’s starting to become a problem as it has been found in drinking water, animal breast milk, and in nearly ever part of the globe including the arctic.
So the less Teflon we use, the better.
Edit: My info on [Teflon toxicity](https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/is-teflon-coating-safe) was wrong as I was grouping it with other forever chemicals. It is a forever chemical that hangs around, but isn’t a big health risk.
