Designing foot-operated things tends to fly in the face of modern accessibility standards. Wheelchair users already have enough problems using public toilets.

They can still have both. A foot pedal for those who want it, a standard handle for those who don't or can't. In fact, retrofitting existing handle-flush toilets to add foot pedals could make a lot of sense.

Oh shit, I guess that's true, yeah. Wheelchair bathrooms are there own thing but not every place has them, at least where I live.
