It's to prevent people from sharing rooms. In a regular room there's usually some way to move the beds apart or have 2 separate sleeping spots somehow, so you could travel somewhere as business partners and just get one room. So they use see-through bathroom walls and other measures to reduce privacy, pressuring people into getting separate rooms.
That said, see-through walls aren't even the worst. Some hotels have this "super modern and minimalistic floor plan" where the shower is part of the same big room as the bed. And whilst I'm not a huge fan of super claustrophobic showers, imagine the moist air of two adults showering filling up the entire hotel room. Sometimes not even the toilet is in a separate room, so you better not get a stomach bug
