do people really think that's particularly terrible? if anything i quite appreciate the ability to flush out the pipes

If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You're doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don't think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one's face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.

You’re doing oral where pee also comes out.

Different canals, at least for females, but in close proximity, yes.

but poo is actually nasty, it has pathogens and is intensely revolting to most people

whereas pee is fairly inoffensive and mostly just becomes gross by association with gross people or by sitting around for days on end so bacteria can fester in it
