Aside from the cleaning perks and cost benefits, flimsy partitions have been justified precisely because they offer no privacy. They make it easier to see if someone is, say, doing drugs or having sex in a stall, Besides offering an arguably more pleasant experience, the floor-to-ceiling design “provides more privacy for people who need to do more personal matters in the stalls,” Worsham points out, whether that be manage an insulin shot or change clothes. The design would make it possible for folks with pee shyness or bowel issues to use the toilet without fear of judgment. In Norén’s imagining, the ideal public bathroom would not only have floor-to-ceiling stalls but also a little shelf for things like phones and insulin syringes and the option to turn on some nice noise-covering sounds.

Huh. My instinctive reaction is how would you know if someone had collapsed in there if the door went all the way down. And then I thought about it and realise I've never seen or even heard of someone collapsing in real life so maybe that's not really a concern.

That could be a gap of an inch or less or I have seen slats in doors that give you enough privacy but you can tell if someone is sitting or laying down
