Why are toilets not joined to the main plumbing via a dedicated, leak proof joint? Something that latches into the toilet and is sealed? Automotive, aircraft, and other industries have high pressure fluid lines. Could someone conceive of an improvement to the current toilet connection?

In Europe a seal made of EVA is commonly used between the toilet and the sewer pipe. Lasts for decades, just as cheap as a wax ring and can be reused. So there already are alternatives in use, I’d wager it’s just a matter of inertia, wax rings are good enough, it’s hard to move away from that.
