toilets just require a water supply and somewhere to flush to
no need for municipal water supply and wastewater, though that does make it easy, but you can simply use stream water that gravity fills your well located water tanks, then flush into a septic container suitable for the location. or hell even hand pump the water up from a well - bicycles make great transmissions to drive pumps
My experience with living and depending on a well shows its anything but easy or dependable.
and anecdotally my experience and that of pretty much everybody I knew growing up says otherwise lol
I think you're proving my point. Geography can change the experience significantly. This could be because local agricultural producers also use wells for irrigation running a residence's dry (without drilling deeper), or the climate being more brutal on well pumps and pressure tanks. Quality of the water that comes out may vary drastically with pollution or runoff requiring more frequent home testing or treatment.
I'm not saying well water is impossible to live on, I'm pointing out that its a bunch of work and doesn't just "happen" like turning the tap on using municipal water.
