Don't imagine is deliberate. Sometimes, jet hiting the urinal wall will result in a big splash that the urinal margin may not hold. That separator is there to save the neighbor, or you from a neighbor. And with this in mind, the free urinal choice makes more sense and that is why is instinctively known to men.

Some urinals are more splashy than others, too.

Some of those fuckers seem like they were designed with maximum splash-back in mind!

You gotta wave the stream around for a bit until you find that sweet spot which minimises splashback.

Just use your brain? You don't want to piss at a right angle to a surface. Look for a curve, it's like landing a skateboard in the transition on half pipe versus landing on in the flat.

No kidding. Sometimes you try and hit the urinal from different angles, naively assuming that there must be an angle that doesn’t splash back. But no. Apparently they’re designed with only two results: some spray back or a BUNCH of spray back. That’s why I go for a stall if they’re available and don’t look actively infectious. That way you get some distance from the strike zone. (Guess I’ve been holding these insights back for a long time. Thanks for hearing me out. ✌️)
