Yeah, here in Germany we usually have kinda big (30cm or so) openings at the bottom and at the top, but it’s impossible to accidentally look through those due to their position.
The side openings of the doors are usually completely closed or it’s a very small slit, you definetly cannot look through them.
I travel a lot for my job, maybe fifty different countries the past 5 or 6 years, and I’ve never seen toilet doors as silly and poorly-designed as US ones, except in places where they’re just making do with what they have.
America? America.
The rest of the world somehow manages to make doors the size of the frame that go pretty much to the floor.
I think it’s meant to stop people from shooting up and/or fucking and/or falling asleep and/or dying in stalls.
It is fucking annoying though.

That’s false.

I didn’t travel as much as you (far from it)
But in every contry I’ve ever been there were toilet doors reaching the ground and floating ~20cm over it in about equal amounts
Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, South Korea, Japan were all essentially private booths. Should be standard.
UK was a bit of a cluster, Philippines had doors sometimes, Italy was almost like America at least around Florence when I was there 20 years ago
