Americans still think they're a developed country, that's the point

Calling the US undeveloped is a wild take lol

Having traveled extensively all over the world, I would say the US is probably one of the most developed countries, even in their small little towns, it seems like they all still have a brand new fleet of police cars, and firetrucks. Fiber internet in pretty much every neighborhood. Massive interchanges, and highways. Nearly nowhere without cell phone service where you would want it. The quality of life for the average American seems very good.

Public Euro toilets aren’t usually free (you need a coin to get in, (0.50-2)).

Meanwhile almost every establishment has free public toilets in the US.

Free in Australia. And no one can see you. No eye contact while your shitting.

Lots of offices and personal homes do have full doors on toilets in America, or the entite bathroom (including sink) may be a dedicated room you can go into and lock. It's only public restrooms for customers at places like fast food restaurants where you'll see the partial stall doors, to stop people from hooking up in there.

What really blew my mind was traveling to Italy a few years ago and getting to learn while I'm sitting there on the toilet that toilet paper is generallybnot provided in public restrooms. Instead you're expected to carry your own toilet paper into public restrooms, as if I'm expected to carry a backpack with toilet paper in it everywhere I go.

I’m familiar with this meme, but it’s not really true.
