Most bathrooms have foot pulls now, it's not a perfect solution for everyone but it's better than the alternative.
Most? I do see them often but you definitely live in a different place than I do.
Central Florida.
My shoes are smooth enough to make it impossible to get a grip on them. Not to mention trying to balance while pulling it. Some bathrooms have an arm pull, dobt know how hygienic it is.

Toilet doors should face outward, so you can save someone who's in distress inside.
I can see this for a stall (think someone falling over and blocking the door, or one of those really tight bathroom stalls where you really have to shimmy to get yourself into the stall), a bathroom door itself not as much.
And smash people outside in the face
The moment your elderly mom has a stroke on the toilet, you'll look back at all the times you got the door in your face and be grateful. What a tiny price to pay for the life of your mother.
