The flip side of this is that smoking is no longer in the usa shoveh lchol nefesh.]
I understand a reluctanc of rabonim to change but aliba demes…..
( I heard a Rav say that he asked in the local shtiebel and based his psak on that . It was one where no one showered every day. Even so it is by no means poshut that shoveh lchol nefesh needs to be every day.
