What do you think might be some drawbacks of humans using natural sponges instead of artificial sponges?

Using natural sponges can have several drawbacks compared to artificial sponges. Natural sponges may be less durable and more prone to wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan and more frequent replacements. Additionally, they can harbor bacteria and require more maintenance to keep clean. Lastly, harvesting natural sponges can contribute to environmental degradation if not done sustainably, impacting marine ecosystems.
