I mean, I suppose it's possible that they exist "somewhere" in Taiwan, but they would be so incredibly rare that I don't see the reason for bringing it up in this thread. The chances of seeing one in Taiwan is close to zero, unless you're referring to the standard squat toilet--which you will still see occasionally.

Maybe I misunderstood your description?
