Serious answer: The design had easy stool sample collection in mind.
I've blasted this all over Reddit back in the day and now I'll blast it here: HOW OFTEN ARE THE DUTCH COLLECTING THEIR STOOLS THAT THEY NEED THIS KIND OF TOILET IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD? THEY USE IT EVERY DAY AND NOT JUST AT A DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR A HOSPITAL WHERE YOU WOULD THINK THAT STOOL SAMPLES WOULD BE COLLECTED OFTEN.
To this day no one has ever given me a reasonable believable explanation that makes sense. I'd be happy to hear that "all the greedy corporate toilet makers didn't want to change their design to save money and now we're all stuck with this dumb toilet blah blah blah" or "we Dutch folk have a special device to sit on that you don't see in this picture that makes the design of this toilet sensible" or even "we simply love looking at a big stinky pile of s*** every time we take a dump you wouldn't understand we're Dutch"
I stayed in hotels and motels in the Netherlands and they all had the stupid toilet and it stanks so bad and they don't believe in ventilated bathroom so you just have to open a window and smell it and your wife and kids have to smell it too. it's so dumb. I ended up flushing every single turd one by one just to survive.
