There's no joke. It would simply not work.

I don't see why not

Pipes would be a mess because the way urinals and toilets handle flushing.

Pure cost and efficiency standpoint. It would require a lot of unnecessary additional plumbing, additional panels and you fit more urinals when they are side by side allowing more simultaneous use of the facilities. Just off a rough estimation looking at that room, moving all of the toilets to one side and urinals to the other, you could fit the same number of toilets, with half of the panels needed, and an additional 4 to 6 urinals in there. Urinals are used far more often, so an additional 4 to 6 urinals would lead to much greater efficiency with moving crowds through the bathroom.

That's a practical answer. It would still "work" though.

But what would be the benefit? It's just claustrophobic vibe and you can't even see right away if there's free urinals when you enter. It's literally just worse in every way than more conventional layouts.

Because no one likes to pee next to each other. No more claustrophobic than a stall.

I don't think that's really true. I think most avoid it when they can, but when the restroom is busy most guys don't mind peeing next to other guys. It's more expensive, very little benefit, and most people would have a worse experience.

Having to check each urinal would make the already bad traffic to the sinks even worse, and where would the lines form? You'd have to have one line instead of the more efficient two lines restrooms that separate them can have.

They used to have communal troughs to pee in at Yankee stadium, most guys do not care about peeing next to another guy lol. You just don’t go next to someone if there’s plenty of room, that’s the only time it gets weird. The guys that care use the stalls anyway.

Because you need a bunch of extra walls for this setup. You can't see which urinals are occupied without running up and down the isle. You'd get a door to the face walking toward the sink and it's especially bad if multiple people are trying to walk back and forth. It's a bizarrely stupid design and it's odd that you can't tell at a glance.
