Not so simple as most have neighbors (or a service) flush the toilets monthly. A surprising number of people do not have the hand strength to close the cheap PVC valves that are the main valves on TV homes.
Another true story: this time it was my home before I had a monitor. The solenoid valve on the washer valve failed on a non TV home. I was home, awake, to catch the quiet leak but if I was asleep it would of flooded the LR Brazilian koa wood floors.
So, as you can see the go to 'turn off the main' has many flaws.
