It's for the people just using the bathroom as a quiet place to collect themselves and get their shit together, without having to sit on the toilet lid.

Never really thought about that, but then again I would rather sit on the lid than the couch 😀

If I had to sit somewhere in the rest room, you can see whether the toilet lid is contaminated, germs wouldn’t live long on the toilet lid, and it is possible to sanitize. That chair is in the splash zone, you can’t even tell whether it is contaminated, germs could live forever, and there is no way to sanitize

Easy, dip in formaldehyde.

Or so the person holding your hand while you squeeze one out has a comfy place to sit.

Shitting all by yourself, handsome?

as someone who lives in a place where they lock the bathrooms to avoid people doing drugs and overdosing in them this seems like a strange luxury that would never happen here.
