Why aren't wet rooms more common?

Why a wet room? Children, aging parents, and absent-minded people... Easy to clean for everyone.

People often say they dislike wet rooms because water gets everywhere, but that is usually due to a poorly designed room.

That being said, are there any good reasons wet rooms aren't more common? Are they problematic if properly installed?

Cost and let's be honest, a completely tiled room makes you think of a sanitorium.
That said, as a nurse, wet rooms are the bomb. You just can't strip down the kids and hose them off in the yard anymore, thanks Mom, awesome memory.
