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?

No particular reason, mostly inertia? US toilets have the drain pipe directly below them and are mounted to that flange. Toilets e.g. in the EU are generally just sitting on the floor and the pipe is connected to the back with a simple plastic pipe and push-in rubber seals. Works just fine.
