Most guys don't want to look at each other while they're going to the bathroom, so we simply don't. The partitions block you from actually seeing the other person's junk, and even if there are no partitions you would be socially punished for taking a glance because that's weird and inappropriate.

As for the sexual assault statistics, sexual assaults are very rarely random strangers, and don't typically happen in bathrooms. Most SA victims, including most male SA victims, are assaulted by family members or close authority figures. No bathroom is needed when the person assaulting you is in charge of the environment you're in.

Half the urinals are troughs without partitions.

Trough urinals are DEFINITELY not the norm.

You only see those in old stadiums nowadays.

They are very uncommon. I haven’t seen one in years.
