I clean potties for a living and occasionally people just shit or piss absolutely fucking everywhere. It takes about 2.5 seconds to clean the toilet, and the bathroom will smell fine with a few minutes. The floor and walls are tile and far, far harder to clean. The smell lingers because the poop bacteria got into tiny cracks no scrub brush can get into. Glazed porcelain is a very good thing.

As far as being white, I can also tell you as a cleaner, most carpets and tiles in public places are designed to hide dirt. This makes them hard to clean because you might not see a concealed coffee stain. A dirty floor isn’t the end of the world, but a dirt concealing toilet design would be… terrible. Yuck.
