The boring answer is that its for reaching the shower controls for adjusting the temperature and pressure without the need to stand under the shower. Mostly for people with disabilites or people who needs aides.
Wouldn't this also let water out and on to the floor? Surely a sliding or hinged opening couldn't have been that hard to implement
It's also in a very terrible spot for that purpose. It would be very awkward to reach the controls from that angle and where the toilet is at.
Well obviously you are supposed to straddle the toilet and face the wall to get a better reach
