Why so high (bathtubs)?
I'm an American who travels to Europe often. Even though my trips are frequent, I'm almost always surprised by the looooong step down and out of the bathtub. I usually slip and slide on the floor that's soaked by water spraying out around the quarter-size door

Why are European (UK, German, French, perhaps more) bathtub floors so high above the bathroom floor?

Is there a different plumbing philosophy?
