Why? I'd prefer a doorless bathroom.
One of my bedrooms at home opens into an open concept bathroom. No doors, vaulted ceilings, open.
I really don't get this.
I don't want to feel claustrophobic.

You have the choice to open the door if you wish. This choice has been removed from those who prefer privacy if the door doesn't exist.
From your link:
Making Privacy Work
Make sure to address the elephant in the room - privacy. Consider installing electrochromic glass panels that switch from clear to opaque. Or take inspiration from Japanese architecture with sliding wooden screens that double as art pieces.
Your sample link's examples seem conspicuously toilet-free to me.
But even without talking about toilets, I don't like airy/drafty feelings when I'm wet, so I'd hate most of those designs, myself.
I love pooping and having my dog visit. A little someone to talk to rather than scroll.
apparently not having doors prevents hemorrhoids.
So you can take a dump with some privacy, obviously.
There must be two types of people/couples.
Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.
A door has two states to choose from, so having a door covers all use cases.
I would be surprised if private defecation is not a majority preference among couples.
Even if I'm alone in a hotel room, I'd prefer to contain the odor to the bathroom.
And a third type, people who have had children so have gone through the toddler stage where a toddler would literally chainsaw and burn down a locked door before they let you have 3 seconds of peace to take a shit.

We tend to not care for showering/peeing, but pooping is something else...
I’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.

I don't want a room to smell literally like shit.
You live alone?
No. I think some couples are just more private than others.
I don't think there are any couples who prefer the bedroom to smell like the toilet.
