Here, having no doors is pretty common in the few places that have gender separated bathrooms like big malls. They just have an S or 90 degree shaped entrance.
The toilet “stalls” themselves are often small rooms with floor to ceiling walls and doors.
Edit: added “Here,” I apparently only thought that I wrote it instead of doing it.
The s shaped entrance is a lot more expensive to construct and consumes more space, so I understand them being very rare. But a simple foot thing is so easy to attach, why is it also rare?
The s shape that I’m familiar with is generally referring to squared walls that have a S shaped path where the walls don’t allow for a direct line of sight like this. But yes, curved walls would also be easier than framing and hanging doors.
Doors that open inwards push air into the room rather than drag it out and this contains smells better so i understand why they do it, but without foot pulls i am annoyed that my clean hands are immediately compromised by every filthy bastard that walks out without washing theirs
Or doors that swing outward so you can push with your elbow or shoulder or foot or something

The S shape takes more space than a single door, but it is way cheaper to build than a door.
are curvy walls not harder to build than installing a mass produced door in a rectangle frame?

There’s also the cost of space. For a mall with high traffic that makes sense. For something like a McDonald’s? No not so much.
Also you’re paying for like 3x more wall. You have all that added depth, plus two 2/3 of a wall.

It’s a bad idea to slam a door into the face of a passerby on the hallway.
Most places I’ve seen bathrooms with outward opening doors have them set back in an alcove so that it’s not opening into a general walkway.
