Dispensers can also be dirtier and less sanitary because they likely aren't being cleaned or sanitized between guests:
Some interesting reading there so will take a look (a bit too much to read all of it on a Sunday morning). Is what both your WHO and CDC links actually say though not instead that handwashing with both liquid and bar soap is ineffective for healthcare workers against bacteria compared to alcoholic hand rub, not that bar soap is more hygienic than liquid soap?

Probably best not to respond on the rest since this thread is already spiralling. You don’t like liquid hand soap. That’s fine. Some people do and this will be seen as a positive by them.
