I like the part where the author/copywriter realizes that this "dirty soap" argument is simply an argument for alcohol based hand sanitizer. That doesn't provide the sweet, sweet vendor lock-in that soap cartridges do, so they invent a whole new list of "Risks of Refillable Hand Sanitizer" which boils down to "If you fill the dispenser with something that isn't hand sanitizer, then it won't sanitize hands properly.

That's rather uncharitable. A whole bunch of hand sanitizer manufacturers that didn't know what they were doing sprang up during the COVID lockdowns, and the resulting methanol-laced hand sanitizer killed people. Also, one of their concerns is that since bulk-refillable ones aren't sealed, alcohol can evaporate out, leaving behind a mixture that's not effective at killing germs.
