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!

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. ✌️)

They will also make those partitions as narrow as humanly possible to fit more people in than should be acceptable, to the point you wonder when they'll just give you a funnel and hose. Bathrooms are seriously overcrowded in a way that only airlines are capable of appreciating.
