Not at all my experience. I rinse the dishes before they go in as they will likely sit for days and days before I fill up the dishwasher.

Likely that’s because if there’s just a couple dishes I just hand wash them. But when we have company the dishwasher is a massive time saver. That said, I bet the average American has way more electronic “stuff” and possessions than I do (with the exception of instruments and music gear) as I try to live pretty simply.

Of course, there may be a tipping point where that "simplicity" is just shipping the complexity out to somewhere else. In this case, perhaps this would arise as extra water treatment plants due to the extra water used by hand washing. Obviously not just from you, but if a large amount of us did it this way.
