Do I really need an oil catch can?

[Angrey]

I figure that the majority of owners, wouldn't empty a catch can out. So it's cheaper to avoid headaches and just let the blow by go back through the intake and burn off through the combustion chamber.

The FP catch can is the first thing I installed when I got my ride. Driver side was a bit of a pain to install, but my OCD said to install one just in case. So far I have only empty out the passenger side, when I do an oil change.

If maintenance is a concern, you couldn't tell it from the FP product. Any capture system that requires a tool and/or additional time to service reduces adherence. The JLT is the simplest in it's design with a knurled cansiter that you simply screw on and off by hand.

I think the EPA's concern was that people will just dump it in the trash or the drain or the yard rather than go through the proper disposal at a facility. They probably ran the inputs and outputs and decided that sending it back through the motor was the lesser evil (in terms of pollution potential).
