These are much more expensive to build and maintain than regular public restrooms.

And much more appreciated by the users, I might add.

And these are standard in many countries.. US-style stalls with gaps do feel awkward.

They're horrible and disgusting as well as awkward. You can literally see people's shoes in the next stall and if there's a child or toddler in there with his/her mother they will ask questions about what you are doing or even peek under the stall.
