European here (spanish) and yes, this is the most common style here. I thought it was more widespread ๐Ÿ˜…

Knowing that you have weird windows is stranger than when I learnt about your "ball soaker" toilets. Like, WTF USA?

I am a little bit afraid to ask, but what is a "ball soaker" toilet?

Water level in toilets in the USA is so high that some people's balls can touch its surface.

Toilets in the USA have a ridiculously hight water level, most of the bowl is filled with water. Thus, for example, the typical scene of bullies dunking a nerd upside down in the toilet. Here in Spain they would, at best, get a bit of water on his head, while there they are saking his whole head.

The "ball soaking" was a reference to a reddit thread about a man with huge ball that had to hold them not to soak them in the water. In a european toilet that's basically impossible.
