When I stayed in the Dubai airport hotel not only was it $550 a night for a basic tiny room and there were there no bathroom doors but there was a GIANT painting of the king of dubai both in the bathroom and the bedroom! The one in the bedroom was almost floor to ceiling size. I hung a towel over him. It was super creepy and felt like his eyes were watching you as you walked around the room.

So you can take a dump with some privacy, obviously.
There must be two types of people/couples. Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.
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).
There's a shade inside the glass, but still... did I really need to open the blinds to my bathroom?

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. Edit: Like these - https://34stjohn.com/blogs/inspiration/how-to-pull-off-an-op...
But even without talking about toilets, I don't like airy/drafty feelings when I'm wet, so I'd hate most of those designs, myself.

And a third type, people who have had children so have gone through the toddler stage where a toddler would literally chainsaw and burn down a locked door before they let you have 3 seconds of peace to take a shit.
If you're single or have a partner that you're comfortable with, open concept bathrooms feel luxurious. But if you need sanctity and salvation from the kids, I can get it.

Making Privacy Work
Make sure to address the elephant in the room - privacy. Consider installing electrochromic glass panels that switch from clear to opaque. Or take inspiration from Japanese architecture with sliding wooden screens that double as art pieces.

No. I think some couples are just more private than others.
I don't think there are any couples who prefer the bedroom to smell like the toilet.

Even if I'm alone in a hotel room, I'd prefer to contain the odor to the bathroom.
