Tragedy of the commons. Just try using any free toilet at a highway rest. Last time for me I could not have used the urinal without standing in a puddle of dark yellow piss. People are assholes. Not all, but most. At least if nobody is looking and they can get away with it.
I think it's really about the level of effort people are willing to put in. I think most people are willing to expend some effort to not be a dick, some don't spend any, and a few people will spend a considerable amount.
