Why are wax rings still used in plumbing?

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?

They’re cheap, they work, and they last long.

There’s nothing to fix here or that really needs improvement. It’s rare to hit a trifecta like that.
