I have no qualms about 💩 in the woods but for 1. People crapping everywhere leaving tp around and 2. Ursa, I prefer to deposit in a location that is not rallying bears.

Generally, I will use pit toilets when in bear country, I try to use pit toilets when in or near campgrounds, but when away from bears and people- behind a tree or off a cliff.
 
There's an anecdote about a picture in a coffee table book showing, and decrying, the results of a brush fire in a Utah canyon. Edward Abbey later admitted that he caused it by burning, rather than burying TP.
