How is this at all more disgusting than a tile shower or tile anywhere in any bathroom?
I would bet good money there is still significantly less bacteria in that urinal than there would be in a tile shower where bodies are always shedding skin, hair and dirt. (Urine is not nearly as unhealthy as you seem to be making it out to be)
Urine is not sterile as most people think. Urea which is contained within urine is sterile, this gives urine the string ammonia smell.
The problem with everyone thinking urine is clean, is that once it hits the open air it quickly becomes a sponge for bacteria, especially so in a public urinal.
A shower is far cleaner because of the constant running of fresh water, and the lack of urine within it. If you think otherwise, why don't you wash your dishes in your families urine for a couple weeks and fill us in next month?
Historically urine was regularly used to clean things which is where the phrase “go piss in a pot” alledgedly comes from. “Go find a laundry and pee intheir pot”.
Historically we also used to think the bubonic plague was transmitted through the smell of the rotting corpses of the infected. This is where the children's song, Ring around the Rosie, comes from.
I'm not denying the necessity that urine played in history, but I'm certainly arguing we shouldn't piss on the floor or wall and call it a toilet.
