Yeah I've noticed it. There's several reasons I think, some good and some bad:
upbringing
can't be bothered in their old age
losing eyesight causes them to miss seeing drops after the fact
wrinkly plumbing tends to make fountains instead of streams
can't bend to clean up, because of bad backs/legs
shaky hands and bad aim if very old
revenge for not cleaning up after your messes when much younger? π
