Square foot isn't a great estimate for toilet paper, because within certain limits no one cares about the width of their TP. This means manufacturers will enshittify their products by making the rolls slightly wider (but fewer sheets). The packaging makes it seem like they're selling the same amount, but you suddenly find yourself needing to buy more.

It's better than having no measurement at all. I agree it'd be better to rate it with a measurement actually relevant to its use, but the main thing is at least we have it and thusly can improve it if we pressure whoever regulates it enough.

Very good point!

The counter argument is that the most permanent solution is a temporary fix, so why change it if it "works" :(
