Showers in Europe are no more than a phone booth at best.

The master bath here is a walk in, no door. There is a 1" drop at the
entry. Controls are near the entry so you can turn the water on and not
get wet. I just pull the handle out the the temperature is the same
every time.

The other is a 60" in the same footprint as a tub. You have to step
over a lip of a couple inches and the doors slide.
