In my experience, international hotels may use a device that comes with the bathroom fittings to keep water flow consistent. If the water flow is much lower than that it is usually either a infrastructure issue or someone has gone too far trying to control it.
Sure, at times. But it doesn't mean that hotels don’t go targeting guest room water consumption for financial reasons. They do that too.
Low flow bathroom features are the call of the day:

And low-flow bathroom “features” are the cheap fruit of the day for hotel owners to get and eat at the expense of some guest experience:
.... they started reducing consumption by beginning with the "low hanging fruit." Installing inexpensive aerators in faucets and showers helped minimize water consumption significantly, as an example.

Same. I just get out and say to my husband "crap water flow" but it doesn't restrict me from washing my long hair and thoroughly rinsing all the shampoo and condition off before I get out.
Why is it every time I think of low flow I think of the Seinfeld hairdos because of the low flow!
You can shampoo and conditioner your head/hair, possibly soap down parts of your body, and get it all washed out in 30 seconds with “crap water flow”? Why do I believe that your idea of a “crap water flow” is as different as our clocks.
