Well - UA and/or other mainline carriers could invest in these state-of-the-art, no mess or used no TP, definitely need a bigger holding tank for grey water.

Costs & maintenance are obvious considerations - many FT's traveling throughout Asia are rather familiar with these, loved ours in HNL as our all-suite lodging have them in the master BR. It's a given in most if not all modern Japanese home as I understood ...
Prettty sure it's not going to happen, LOL - maybe, up front for the F cabin only as cost-savings are their motto.

In this case, there is absolutely no defense. UA did not even attempt to apologize. If its executives had some common sense, they would have said something along the lines of: "The supplier provided less toilet paper than usual and ultimately, our crew decided to not delay the flight so that many of our valued passengers wouldn't miss their connections. We truly apologize for the inconvenience that our valued passengers encountered in some of the lavatories and we are taking steps to ensure that this doesn't occur again."

I was on UA 463 (sUA 757) on 7/22 LAX-ORD. The front Economy lav ran out of toliet paper. I went to tell the FA in the back. She said "we are going to land soon anyway" and did nothing 
Too bad I didn't have a copy of this picture on my phone to show her
This was 15 minutes before the seat belt sign was turned on and 30 minutes before touch down. Lots of people were using to lav before the descend. You would think with this incident, they would be a little more sensitive on this front.
It was a terrible flight - my seatmate asked for hot tea twice and never got it.

Thanks for sharing - should've taken a picture of the loo - did FA left it in service. So what're the pax supposed to do 
Lazy or out of extra TP - indifference 
for the kettlesI would've ask for her name upon deplaning for the record & write/email UA for a followup.
