TFE can become tiny parts. It will clog gas gets and
kill those inside.

Thus the hot water heater if gas - use plumbing gunk to lock it up.

Plasma torches and the like have small holes - as do paint guns
and the like.

A mater of standardization.

If you are going to need Teflon paste for some possible applications,
why not use it for all?

Can't be cost, a bottle of Teflon paste is only a couple of bucks.

And unless you are a pipe fitter or a plumber, a small bottle is
probably a multi year supply.
