Having no doors is pretty common in the few places that have gender separated bathrooms like big malls. They just have an S or 90 degree shaped entrance.
The toilet “stalls” themselves are often small rooms with floor to ceiling walls and doors.
The s shaped entrance is a lot more expensive to construct and consumes more space, so I understand them being very rare. But a simple foot thing is so easy to attach, why is it also rare?
The s shape that I’m familiar with is generally referring to squared walls that have a S shaped path where the walls don’t allow for a direct line of sight like this. But yes, curved walls would also be easier than framing and hanging doors.

The S shape takes more space than a single door, but it is way cheaper to build than a door.
are curvy walls not harder to build than installing a mass produced door in a rectangle frame?

There’s also the cost of space. For a mall with high traffic that makes sense. For something like a McDonald’s? No not so much.
Also you’re paying for like 3x more wall. You have all that added depth, plus two 2/3 of a wall.
