I think a lot of the time involved is to keep the process quiet, an industrial dishwasher is fast but loud as fuck. I wouldn't mind being given that choice with a home dishwasher though.

    Also way hotter than a residential one. I actually cooked salmon in one when I worked on a cruise ship. Surprisingly effective.

    Price is also a major factor. Restaurants won't balk at paying thousands for an industrial grade dishwasher if it can replace or greatly reduce the demand for a human dishwasher. Even at low restaurant wages, it doesn't take long for a $6000 dishwasher to pay for itself. On the other hand, if the only dishwashers available cost that much, if there were no dishwashers at a consumer price point? Most people would just go without one in their home.
