I guess leaving the water in the tub is an easy way to reclaim the heat, but is there any place where the same is done to shower water (or all waste water) on a large scale? Maybe arctic research stations?

The warm bathwater humidity will make your walls moldy!
Ideally, taking a hot bath or a long shower should just be a different form of heating your apartment or house. The same way your refrigerator or your kettle should contribute to the room temperature. If we then also generate heat with heatpumps or solar power (or both), I don't see any reason to not indulge in long showers.
