This is me explaining why bathrooms and showers/tubs should be separate rooms. I think Japan has depictions of this in anime that I’ve seen.
It just makes no sense to me to have both the shitter and the shower/tub be in the same space. Plumbing-wise, maybe it does make sense. Functionally and me personally, I think it’s stupid them being in the same space/room and it’s just a shortcut they’ve labeled as “standard” when it isn’t ideal.

This seems more common in Europe, where the toilet is in its own room down the hall. What I don’t like about that is often that means people walking around the house with unwashed hands as they make their way to a sink. In the US you will find something like that most often where the master/owner’s/primary bathroom has a water closet with the toilet in its own little room in the bathroom. That can be handy for couples and feels like it contains the toilet germs more.
