People bitch and moan about straws. But this thought occurred to me recently, why don’t they offer reusable ones instead and just wash it with other tableware?

Except any annoying kitchen task that can solved by specialized but not crazy expensive equipment will be.
Like, I don’t think a kitchen would bother trying to automate silverware rolling. (I just looked it up. Equipment exists, but not published prices. I’ve seen pleny of staff doing by hand though.) I have, however, seen a thing that looked like 4 mini vertically spinning carwash-spinning-pole-of-towels thingies that bartenders were using to wipe the insides of glasses. (I just looked that up too. I think I found the model for $810 US.) No one would have that in their home, but not many people use any sort of straw at home.
So what I’m saying is that a specialized dishwasher for durable steel straws doesn’t seem hard to design or expensive to manufacturer. I feel OP was hoping for more innovation.
