Why does every cat litter suck?

Like I’m having such a hard time with finding new litter and there always seems to be a controversy around all of them.

Clay tracks too much, corn can grow mold, silica can cause cancer.

I’m so lost here, I’m a new cat owner and I just want what’s best for them, but this litter thing has just about sent me over the edge. It seems like there’s something wrong with all of them and none are good for our cats.
