That frequent washing is what leaks out the nasty chemicals from the plastic fyi. Heat and mechanical stress are the main way plastics leach

To be fair, that's the case with pretty much all plastics.
Tupperware shouldn't be used to reheat food in the microwave for the same reason, yet that's it's most common use generally.
Untreated PLA is more brittle than commercial food-safe plastics though, that is true.
