They were designed for usage at scale in settings where cleaning and sterilization wouldn't be possible and the risk of infectious disease is high. Think refugee camps, battlefield hospitals, etc.
So design one that's easily cleaned. E.g. you throw it in a bucket of chemical X for 15 minutes. Battle field hospitals would rather have 50 cleanable items than 5,000 disposable ones. Far easier to transport.
If it’s that easy, why aren’t you doing it right now and making billions?
