I'm not saying the law should be ignored. I'm just not entirely sure why the law exists as it does, or think that it's ill written to account for certain situations. A large bathroom with twenty people (or more! bathrooms at large events or in large airports can be big) in it is not what I would consider private.
I think (but could be wrong) what most people actually care about is that their stall is private (or in the case of urinals, that someone isn't to the side recording what they consider a small private wall space area), but since that's hard to account for and some stalls/urinals already have poor privacy to the rest of the bathroom, we got what we have now.
Honestly, to me it seems like a lot of bother to hide bits of our body that we should all be a lot less concerned about shame about in the first place, but I'm not holding my breath on any change there in the U.S.
