I agree it’s tragic but out of all the ways a culture can strangle itself, museumification is the least horrible

There's always the option of, you know, not strangling itself.

      This was, oddly, for regulatory reasons; the concern was that a blocked mixer unit could cause hot water (considered potentially unsafe) to be forced into the mains supply (presumed safe). This hasn't been a concern with mixer designs for a long time, but it took til the 90s to get the rule changed.
