I never got why this was an issue, I've peed in what are basically troughs at various events. I don't know maybe it's different if you don't have a dick.

I believe its a cultural/technological thing. Growing up in Thailand, sit down toilets were a foriegn concept for me until I went to America, so my people kneeled down just like japanese people.
Eh, I generally prefer squatting toilets over seating ones. Sure, you can't really catch germs from toilet seats, and seat liners are mostly pointless anyway, but I rather not have my ass contact a place teeming with other people's fecal bacteria (even if the skin prevents msot of them from going through) if I can help it. Peace of mind.
the japanese version "onee-sama" might be more familiar to you. Some translators like to translate to the shipgirls' native language although it's not actually written that way in japanese.
Apparently, squatters are better for your pooper muscles.
I heard about this as well and that the sitting position is bad posture, especially for those with constipation. The article I read does make a point that toilets are a modern invention that for thousands of years, humans were always squatting in the first place. Then sit down toilets got invented and it "Felt easier" for people thus got popular enough to keep around.

Remember arthritic people have a hard time squatting.
Also disabled people or people on IVs (I was hospitalized for a month with a head injury as a child and trying to poop on a squatter invariably dislocated the antibiotic drip) enjoy the convenience of sitters.

I get that, I'm just saying that it does make sense from an evolution standpoint about the whole posture thing since Toilet seats don't exactly grow from the ground like a tree. The whole medical thing was mostly about the posture and how the anus is naturally supposed to defecate excrement. First time squatters will find a bit of balancing problems if they never done it before if you're vacationing in another country(especially non-1st world countries) while those raised on it think nothing of it. That's why sitting toilets got popularized in the first place even though it's "Wrong".
Basically the idea is that if we had at least a slanting seat that would put you in the correct posture while helping those with balancing problems, we'll kill 2 birds with one stone. But hey, people hate change so we're still stuck with the 2 seat types(if you've gone camping before, you've naturally squatted even if you were never raised on it).
It's kinda like how most of the world is still using qwerty keyboards when it's in fact been proven that other keyboard formats allow for faster and more natural typing but the ol qwerty format that came from the typewriter days has stuck around and no one wants to change. And if you do change your format(can be done via software honestly and just moving the keys on your keyboard physically actually) you get called on it as a hipster.
Thing is all this talk is about crapping, she doesn't have to crap here though, just pee. She wouldn't even need to squat, she could do it standing if she wanted, uni-sex or female urinals are a thing even in western nations hence wondering why this is a 'thing' at all.
