The purpose of no bathroom doors is to limit their use to single people or couples. They want business travelers to get a separate rooms or upgrade.

I can assure you not even single people nor couples want doorless bathrooms.

Why? I'd prefer a doorless bathroom.

One of my bedrooms at home opens into an open concept bathroom. No doors, vaulted ceilings, open.

I really don't get this.

I don't want to feel claustrophobic.

It's not about saving a few bucks on a door. It's about discouraging you and your friends from sharing a single room. Hotel sees the money they're leaving on the table and will trade you for it for the low price of watching your buddies do their business.

It's far more likely to discourage me and my friends from staying at that hotel entirely.

So you can take a dump with some privacy, obviously.

On insta I'm seeing more stories about people reviewing/mocking OPS (Open plan shi.tters) on rental websites like rightmove.

Boldest choice thus far was the one with the OPS next to the kitchenette.

There are some very strange people out there...

I don't want a room to smell literally like shit.

Only once have I seen anything like this. The room had a bathroom door, but also a giant hole cut out in the wall so that everyone in the room could peer into the bathroom for some reason. We demanded a different room with a complete wall separating the bathroom and got one (a nicer one at their expense too).

You have the choice to open the door if you wish. This choice has been removed from those who prefer privacy if the door doesn't exist.

I'm in a committed long term relationship. I absolutely do not want to shit in front of my partner (nor do they have any desire to watch).

There must be two types of people/couples.

Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.
