OK, went to Lowes and found both of these on the shelf. So what's the
deal?

I understand that the "substitute" has no phosphates, and there are
communities that properly discourage phosphate pollution. My community
isn't one of these (unfortunately), but then why are both on the
shelf? Is environmental protection all there is to this?

If you can buy real TSP, do that; it really works well. The
substitute (minus the phosphate, and probably called TS therefore)
works well, too, but I still miss Soilax, which I can't find here
anymore. Yes, environmental protection is the main issue as I
understand it.
