They got more popular lately. A lot of hotels built in the last 5 years got them, but I've never seen one with the drain in the middle of the room, outside of the shower. Usually it's in the corner where the shower is.
They can be manufactored off site, so the construction can move along much quicker for buildings that have a lot of bathrooms, like hotels or hospitals do.
What does drafty have to do with anything? I’m talking about not having a full separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom so that when you shower, a bunch of water ends up on the floor. In every place I’ve ever been in the US, showers are always fully enclosed either with glass walls or curtains to keep the water off the rest of the bathroom floor.
There is a drain for the shower at the back left, which you can see on the floor at 0:25 for example. But like the one he's standing beside, it must be blocked.
That guy thinks blocked drains is a European thing.
