A bidet is $30. People just don't like change.
I'd imagine a good portion of the country would spend twice that much (or the equivalent amount of time) letting everyone know how manly they are for not having a bidet. Others would seek out and destroy bidets.
You know, same thing insecure hicks do to every new thing.

You... Don't have an inch of room above the seat and two to the side?
Fuck, that *is* a cramped bathroom!

They work great. The cold water is only jarring the first time. After a few uses, you can get clean and dry in under 15 seconds.
You use far less TP. Once you learn the "dynamics" of using TP to grab water, you use even less than that.
I just used a "High end" one for the first time yesterday and the heated seat is the only thing I can say is an upgrade. Electric controls made the stream suck, the warm water felt fucking weird... Like I was getting creampied with hot chocolate. Didn't even try the heated dry.
The $30 attachment is a solid entry point and the overwhelming majority of people won't even see a use for anything more. Imo.
On a more personal note, I'm an autist with additional executive functioning problems, and I take amphetamines. That means when nature calls, I'm sitting there thinking "Well fuck how badly do I wanna do all the overhead and rituals associated with shitting" and "How many things can I get done before it's really a fucking emergency" and without going into detail, this behavior in my youth has likely set me up for a very, very cancery senescence.
The bidet removing a lot of that overhead means I can just skip out, do the needful, spray, swipe, wash my hands, and be back at my desk in under 3 minutes.
