I disagree agree about tile. True Our other 3 homes tile was indeed slink when wet, but grout aged but didn’t get that discolored look for 10 years.

However the hand scraped or flat finish newer tile when wet isn’t slippery.
Our tile guy said the newer grout has an additive, no longer attracts dirt or needs to be sealed. We have 3,000sf of tile, so far looks exactly the same as day one. I dripped fresh cooked beet juice on the tile and grout without knowing it. 4 hours later I just wet paper towel, cleaned it. No stains to the grout. Even I was amazed
tile is the way to go. Our tile in the shower had a few cracks at the corners, and I sealed them with identical color silicone caulk right away, making sure that it was very dry prior to applying. . and the new grouts are very stain resistant and color is very permanent.
