Do they cut hose end off at dump station on purpose?

Yep - hose cut off to keep folks from sitting there flushing while others wait. Also keeps people from connecting to fill their fresh water...

Also -- when finished, people just throw the end of the hose on the ground and drive off, often driving over the end of the hose. If it had a brass thread the fitting would be smashed making it unusable for anything.
