>Why is this a thing in the US? I legitimately don't understand it.

People are less ashamed of such mundane things. US being a new country is not bound to the same social taboos that you see everywhere else.

Also practical reasons like, easier to see when its empty, ease of cleaning, ventilation ect.

Is a little dial connected to the lock saying "engaged/vacant" or green/red that difficult to see?

We don't have those on American bathroom stalls, but it would be useful.
