For millions of years, pooping has been a much more private thing than peeing.
Look at the public bathrooms at big venues. All the guys have to pee side-by-side at urinals, as long as you don't glance over to see what the other guy's got. That's not a cool thing to do in most settings except maybe San Fransico. You don't want to do that. But the male sit-down toilets are in stalls. Pooping is private.
And all the ladies have enclosed stalls to pee in because they have to sit down to do either. Therefore toilet stalls.
But it's not just humans. We found that when Frecklee the cat was with us, we would go on extended road trips, leaving him alone in the house. We had two cat litterboxes. One was enclosed and the other was open on top, just a grocery store litterbox.
When we came home, Freck would have exclusively pooped in the enclosed box, and done nothing but pee in the open box.
So it's primal. Mammals need privacy when pooping.
