It’s actually not exactly true. Soap doesn’t break down oil. It attaches to the oil molecules, and attaches to a water molecule by the other end. Which, when the water is running away and takes all this mess into the drain, is incredibly effective. With the stagnant pool of water, less so.
I did wash the dishes in buckets when I was young, lived in poverty, and had to do it all by hands. I still remember that feeling of always dirty dishes, that’s why I am always terrified when people do it on purpose.

it saves water

Oh, with big enough amounts, sure.

How can it stay clean if you just put all your dirty plates there? And oils, all the oils are floating on top! And all the pieces and bits, just there!

But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.

And you, just, like, put a clean dish in the same stale water as all the others? I am shivering just thinking about! Only the first couple of plates will be clean, everything else is dirty with the shit from previous plate!

I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
Or do you want me to tell, y’all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?

What do you do with double sink? I’ve never had a double sink and I can’t imagine how I would use it

Is it really more natural for a non-programmer than “if statement is true than a else b”? I can’t evaluate because of decades of C, so for me the python logic is still bizarre.

I don’t like people who impose vegetarianism and veganism

You should though
