I have seen these in a couple of airports. Dubai for sure and then one somewhere else I can’t remember, maybe Japan or India. I was told they were intended to make travelers from Africa more comfortable but no idea if it is true.

They're in Dubai mainly because of people coming from Africa and India. In India, newer buildings generally have sit-down toilets now

when i was in china 20 years ago most stalls had those toilets, there might be one with a "western" toilet and it had foot prints on the seat

They still have signs at many western toilets in Asia which basically say "Don't squat on the toilet seat" with a picture how to use it.
