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?

It’s important to remember that these are NOT pressurized lines. If everything is working right, the contents just flow downhill via gravity at a relatively low speed. If you’re seeing leakage from that wax ring, it’s because there’s a blockage downstream that you need to get fixed. Water shouldn’t be standing in that pipe if everything is working properly.
