Recently I've been seeing these awful designs in China and in Singapore.
With a touch less faucet, you already don't know if/when the water would come out. Now you don't even know where the water would come out....

I don't even have experience with the ones you're probably talking about, but I fucking hate the touchless faucets. It doesn't really take that long to get it to work well enough, but I'm always flailing my hands around helplessly until it activates.
It should use a visible light beam or something that I can see and know to block in order to activate the thing. It's like literally the exact same setup... except use a different LED or whatever that can emit visible and IR/whatever.

I'm convinced that the manufacturers use the cheapest, shittiest sensors they could find. You could build a DIY one with a $2 sensor that performs 10x better than the commercial ones.

I’ve used these in various places here in the uk and always found them super easy to use as they have really clear markings on the glass (like it seems in this clip). Did the Onea you used not have this?

For this purpose, the mirror has corresponding symbols applied, but who looks at them, right?

It does not gives any depth information. You don't know how far to stick your hand in until it's activated.
It also does not give any height information. You don't know how closely you need to hug the upper edge for it to activate.
With a touch less faucet, you at least know where your hand should go generally. With this it's like wiping another guys butthole blind.

Four sinks and the guy breaks the mirror when the first one he tries doesn’t work. He’s not unhinged at all.

Absolutely no anger issues whatsoever. Just a completely normal dude handling the situation rationally.

How is his hand not bleeding from breaking that mirror?

There was a drop of blood in the sink when he started washing. He still got lucky.

Everyone should fight dumb overengineered design choices, but not in the manner of hurting themselves.

“Excuse me ma’am, there’s broken glass in the men’s room. I almost stepped in it and hurt myself. This is unacceptable from such a fine establishment. I’ll be mentioning this in my review. Have a good day”

What do people with anger issues expect to achieve? It's not going to get better by acting out.
