I don’t. I think if you did a survey you’d find that most people just use water and save their money by not buying those treatments.Then why does everyone add the treatments to the black tank

"Everyone" doesn't add "treatments" to the black tank. We've not used anything but water added to our black tank in a dozen years of motorhoming, and lots of folks on this forum will tell you they do the same way- NO chemicals needed.Then why does everyone add the treatments to the black tank
Because Camping World and their salesman told them to.Then why does everyone add the treatments to the black tank
Actually it creates Chlorine gas. Type 2Phosgene gas, also known as mustard gas because of its color, is one of the most dangerous byproducts of bleach. It occurs when bleach comes into contact with ammonia. Ammonia is another common chemical used in cleaning; it is also a component of certain bodily fluids produced by the kidneys, including urine.
Exactly. And therein lies the marketing strategy behind MANY overhyped products.Whether it "helps" or not is debatable but it's inexpensive and can't "hurt".

You can pee into a jug of chlorine all day long without worrying about phosgene. It will, however, produce small amounts of chlorine gas and its associated smell and irritation of eyes and nose.
That is a lesson that I learned the hard way, many years ago.Phosgene gas, also known as mustard gas because of its color, is one of the most dangerous byproducts of bleach.

No but I’d have to worry about my private parts turning white as snow.You can pee into a jug of chlorine all day long without worrying about phosgene.
I used to clean transmitters using denatured alcohol on a rag and wondered why I felt woozy afterwards. Stopped when I started wearing rubber gloves.I had a buddy who used to clean his enclosed dog kennel with bleach and wonder why he always had a headache afterwards - LOL...
