Apparently this design was popular in Germany a hundred years or so ago. Its key advantage was allowing the user to examine their stools for signs of digestive health problems.

Not “a” knife. “The” knife.

I know the joke and all, but recently the local theme park has replaced their toilet brushes with toilet rubber shovels. They work surprisingly well. They can both hack'n'slash a log, but also the back side is also ripped so you can use it to brush out the regular shit from the sides, while avoiding the dreaded paper clutter and other issues with a toilet brush being used by thousands of people daily.

It's like toilet brushes evolving into poop knives. Looks like this: https://pin.it/OKHBRlxjI

Culture shock #2. A public American toilet may require "thousands" of toilet brushings daily.

Tell me you were exaggerating... Right?

Yeah well, I'm not counting. On busy days, the toilets have queue lines all day long. Depending on the length of the visit and the willingness to use the brush, it's probably in the hundreds, or at least a lot more than anywhere else.

Hmm maybe brushed by staff once every 1-3 hours if visibly dirty?

This guy cleans commodes.

Amazon’s on Pinterest, then?

Neat design - could be quite effective under the rim. Just wonder about longevity of the hinge.
