Very likely the person who will pay the price for the diversion will be the passenger who caused it - who knows they may even be able to get the passenger arrested and charged for some misdemeanor.
So what you're saying is the only option left for a passenger suffering from incontinence is to soil themselves while waiting for access to a compliant lav? Because sooner or later, given the way the airline industry has crammed more seats in their metal/CFRP tubes while at the same time reducing the number of lavs, we're going to read about a non-drunk passenger faced with a Hobson's choice when they can't find an open lav.
But I do see a new money-making opportunity for the airline. they might want to start selling these.
