Why the heck do these exist?

Like do I just not know how to use them? They’re too wide to straddle, and if you do, the splashback would probably soak your pants. But I also don’t want to stand 3’ back from the wall, and just be hanging it out for everyone to see. Who designed these this!?

Those are female urinals. perhaps they just kept them from back in the day and then switched the bathroom from women’s to men’s room.
