It isn't a choice made by the homeowners or by the contractors. If Contractors didn't follow guidelines there would be a huge outcry, I would think.
We had three for some reason when our home was being built. We were on site every day and never noticed an odor. I do think they are frequently serviced. There is one now, down the street and it has been there for several months. No one ever mentions it. I can see it from our front porch.
I would hazard a guess that the reason they are near the street is that they are serviced.

Thanks for the link and the sentiment.
It isn't outra
geous. And I wouldn't want some heavy lifting piece of equipment digging up the yard trying to put the porta-john out of sight.
As to the poster thinking to ban home improvements in TV... People make improvements to homes everywhere. There would be something un-American about banning that. And it's not like you're installing a permanent outhouse fixture. Besides, where would people have the workers go to use facilities? Would you want them to stop work and leave the premises? Maybe that poster would, so to him, don't answer that!
