I would think this would be easy in a house with a basement or crawl space, where you'd be able to see more than one main waste stack. That would raise questions.

We have 2 septic systems. The house has 2 tanks, a leach field, and was 36" deep to the lids. When it came time to pump them the probe to find the lids went to the handle at the ground. The system for the stables has 3 tanks, a single 240' drain line, and they were only 24" underground, so easier to find. Now all 5 tanks have risers putting the lids 12" underground, much easier to locate. I try not to run over them with anything heavy. They get pumped every 3 years. We are in sand so they drain quite well, easy to spot the green grass where the leach field is.
In areas where you need a permit for everything, an inspector could make sure that everything at least had been purported to meet specs. No permit and signoff afterwards, it never happened.
If I was in an area of million dollar homes I would support that. In less populated areas where you aren't dumping wash water into your neighbor's well, it isn's so important.

That Idec PLC in your cabinet seems to be a Siemens Logo!. I wonder if they can share software. Looks physically identical

I asked the guy that pumps ours out what the tanks look like that use the store bought chemical, he said, “they look the same as yours”
