Right on. American Standard 1998 Bathroom Habit Survey showed 30% Americans never take baths, and 6% never take showers. Those numbers become even more extreme when we travel. Typically women may take baths in 4-5 star hotels and up, if they have the time; but won't otherwise for hygenic reasons. Men would hardly do that at all. However, we cannot delete the tubs as they are expected equipment and the guests would complain that they are getting a cheap room. That's why the new generation of hotel rooms would have 4-piece bathroom. We see that in most new hotels in Asia where new hotel construction started 10-15 years ago when we had little activity in North America.
