Because if there is only you, then you can't pick up anyone else's germs.
My SIL noticed that she isn't getting sick nearly as often now that she only
uses paper towels to dry her hands with. She uses several different
bathrooms that have several different people using them.

It might be easy for *you* to walk to your kitchen. You're not disabled. I
am. I also keep cleaners in the bathrooms too. And a reaching tool in
almost every room of the house.
