The underground tank holds water and bacteria that breaks down the sewage to nutrients. The liquid bearing the nutrients is dispersed over a area and vegetation uses the water and nutrients.
What happen to the stuff pumped out of the tanks? It is dumped into another system that is hopefully big enough, and maintained well enough to break it down. And the expensive part of that maintenance is removing stuff that should never be in it.
This might help you. On second thought, I guess not.

You are the reason that laws have been written to compel owners to do the right thing and pump the tanks before the entire system fouls the area.

I would never overwhelm my septic in the country by dumping my tanks in there. On the other hand when we built the house in town we installed a dump connection into the public sewer and enough slab to park our 40ft DP. Sure comes in handy even though the DP stays out in the country most of the time.
