In dwelling places and computer hardware and software, I have developed a preference for maintainability and compatible interfaces over performance and shininess.
This bathroom is fixed. It is not configurable, which means that it's great if it does exactly what you need and is a problem otherwise. I'm 6'5". At various times, there have been people living in my house ranging from baby-sized up through me. It looks like this is optimized for someone about 5'5" tall. Bucky was 5'2".
This bathroom has no ventilation options other than a bizarrely placed under-sink fan. It lacks many affordances - a place for towels, natural light, an electrical outlet for small appliances, any consideration of disability or infirmity - and because of the unified construction, it cannot be changed.
It's an interesting design, but the reason people didn't adopt it is that it isn't adaptable.
