Yeah I too — as a very occasional sink pisser (sometimes when I'm very inebriated or have stubborn morning wood) — would like disassociate from the sink shitting lunatics.
Piss is liquid and mostly free of pathogens. Shit isn't.
As long as you're not actively and regularly pissing in your sink without ever washing it, I don't really get what the issue is.
The height is just so convenient.
