Just throw your scrapes and buy compost then, it'll be cheaper and easier. The city already transforms bio waste in gas and compost anyways, and much more efficiently than what you can do at home given the scale.

This is another "I'm doing my part" gimmick that solves literally nothing when you look under the hood

You're not wrong. I think people just like to feel like they're doing their part, even if it's not actually a net benefit.

our city has no bio waste. we make all our own dried fruit, eat mostly fresh from market (so little to no plastic for our veggies), but an immense amount of organic waste.
