I think there is a certain inconsiderateness, or like a "fuck you got mine" vibe reflected in things like crowding to get into a subway, or cutting people in line (I hate queueing in China). I'm not sure I chalk up the lack of TP towards that as much as there being no expectation of offering free TP so nobody does it. For instance there are also toilets in Japan where you have to buy the TP in a vending machine but people there are exceptionally considerate. In many places in Europe you usually have to pay to use restrooms in public places too. Just a different norm.
