You really wouldn't have a problem using a remote that you knew had just been handled by someone with BM residue? You would not mind sitting on a desk chair immediately after someone who just sat naked on it? You wouldn't mind picking up a remote immediately after a guy finished using that same remote while watching hotel porn and "relieving" himself with that same hand?

If you are being honest and would not have a problem with these scenarios, I would think you are in a significant minority.
You forgot to add that one, in a purly reflex move, may then reach to their eye because something may have gotten in it; order room service and eat food with their hands after handling said remote.
