It’s not about killing microbes, it’s about getting rid of pathogens and spores they create. You can’t steam that away. For example, botulinum toxin can withstand up to +85C and botulinum spores can withstand boiling water. No dishwasher will make your stuff safe from botulinum.

Hot water isn’t the only thing cleaning your dishes you know.

  Yes, but none of the things inside the dishwasher are rated against fece transmited pathogens.

    Considering you can find traces of human feces on literally every surface inside a human home, I imagine you mainly need stuff like that for surgery, and surgical items are washed in what is, essentially, a dishwasher.

    Blast furnace is essentially a domestic oven by that logic.
