Remember that outdoor atmospheric gases are mixed by turbulence and convection
Indoor ones are too.
Which is why this is obviously wrong...

H2S being denser than air, it will vent though the lowest holes.

If only the manufacturers and users of industrial gases possessed your wisdom and insight. And politicians too! No need to worry about rogue states installing gas centrifuges - they don't work!

Most of them do.
That'/s why you don't see them trying to separate gases by leaving them to settle out.
