They do that now, in 98% of the toilets that are using these torture devices.

Thank God things are changing here, and most of the new installations in department stores and shopping malls are putting in western toilets. (And with
'Washlets' too!) Most older buildings now have at least one stall with a western toilet too. Japan's population is aging and it's difficult for the old timers to deal with squatting.
I installed one of the Washlet seats at home, and can honestly say that once I learned how to control it, it's become one of my favorite seats in the house! Warm in winter, cool in summer, with all sorts of fun buttons to push!
