Rest of the world? What about the places with squat toilets? Those are common in many places in the "rest of the world", and they don't even have seats!

Pooping while squatting is healthier, so maybe that qualifies as saner too.

It's also just, really damn effective. If you are ever having trouble squeezing one out on our antiquated and stupidly un-designed porcelain throne, get your legs higher so you are closer to squatting, and consider investing in a stool to put your feet on.

If you read carefully, you will notice that I wrote 'most of the rest of the world' exactly because of those caveats.

Here in Singapore we have both styles of toilets.
