FWIW I've seen squating toilets installed in a brand new building in France 30 years ago (called Turkish toilets there). I had seen them in older buildings but asked why you'd use those in a brand new building. I was told that it was to save on cleaning time, that you can clean an entire room with many stalls with a broom and a hose in the same amount of time it takes to clean single stall that has a regular western toilet.
