If you're sitting down, the drops will stay in the bowl. Is your standing, you just made a thousand droplets fly everywhere from your stream hitting the porcelain.

So, when sitting you still have to handle and direct the jet in the opposite direction. Because unless you sit facing the wall, I find piss will surf up the bowl, ripple between the edge and the seat-ring (dirty them), and, in a good day will lend on you calf.

I personally sit down + wipe, but I'm quite prejudiced about other people with pp regarding their toilet manners (or manners in general, but that's a bigger discussion...): I imagine the majority standing up, shaking and giving zero f*cks about in what state they leave the toilet :( but as I said, this is just my prejudice.

Nothing quite so nice as having to adopt a ridiculously wide stance as far from the urinal as logistically possible to avoid standing in someone's carelessness.

I was sitting down and already thinking myself better than most men. End of last year I discovered wiping is a thing and it blew my mind on how I never even considered it before...

(Except for those weirdly designed restrooms where the paper is place five light years away across the room) the solution to improved decency was but a few inches away 😁
