Aren't these the ones where the stall walls turn opaque when you lock the door?

Some turn opaque by itself when you're doing your heavy sweaty business there for some time.

So assuming they are... I'm still stuck at "why is this a thing?" Why do we need magicchange glass when particle board is far cheaper? I would have to be in dire straits to use one of these as my bowels would freeze up for fear of the glass switching to clear when someone jiggles the handle

There's a lot of things that people do that aren't for practical reasons. That's why all our homes aren't just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.

Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it's marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.

Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.

Yeah, removing greasy hand prints is probably an extra chore.

Or a misguided solution to prevent drug use in public stalls?
