It's also a matter of timing: If you've already got a functioning toilet odds are you're never even going to think about replacing it out. If you're in the middle of putting together your dream bathroom you might consider it.
Otherwise you could say the same thing for bathtubs (Jacuzzi anyone?) and showers (rain heads, dual heads, full-body nozzles, etc.). And yes, there's a market for cheap add-ons/replacements that work with your existing setup. But they haven't driven the high-end out of business.
- jerf 18y agoI didn't want to bloat an already long message, but I would think that there is at least the potential for a high-end market for fancy toilets. I was addressing the more wide-spread case. I don't think you're going to see that sort of thing become standard until a major shift occurs in American culture, or manufacturing just becomes so cheap that the extra cost for a fancy toilet (and quite likely a lot of other things) is so low nobody cares anymore. And I'd expect that second one to happen before the first.
