The US is cheap. We even famously have large gaps between the door/stall panels. I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don't jam.
Nicer places sometimes have actual deadbolt locks connected to a vacant/occupied indicator on the exterior. But it is rare. Usually it's just a gapped stall with a sliding lock that will often not even line up correctly without wiggling the door.
In some instances I have had to use my gym key fob in place of the missing sliding mechanism to secure the door.
It's to shame you out of doing drugs and having sex in the stalls. It doesn't work because people who are going to do that in a public toilet are usually immune to said shame.
You could deal with that while still keeping privacy with a rabeted edge on the door sides.
