I have a minor hand washing compulsion, but it's not a germophobia thing. While I would prefer everyone wash their hands after using the bathroom, it doesn't gross me out like some other things, like nose-picking.
Lots of excreta aerosolize or otherwise get everywhere. While hand washing is a low bar to improving hygiene, shit is literally everywhere. Want to see something scary (depending on your squeamishness)? Get a 350nm UV flashlight and check out your home. Hell, try it right after you do a deep clean.
