Seems like a complete lie. Men might lose a few drops due to the shape of the bowl tops. It’s certainly not worth anyone tearing out urinals in the hope some hypothetical piss splashage goes down.
And personally a better goal for urinal design is water reduction. i.e. urinals that use no water, or the bare minimum to flush the piss through.

Don’t get me started on those “zero water” urinals. They start to stink and accumulate all kinds of nasty in a matter of weeks. There’s a reason we flush all of that stuff down the toilet and into the sewers.
They have them in all the McDonald’s around here and I’ve never noticed any difference in smell. There is a sticker near the urinal saying they save tens of thousands of litres of drinking water per year which I can believe. I think the system has some kind of valve and siphon to prevent smells.
Men aren’t dumping half a teaspoon of piss on the floor. Adults are capable of aiming and pissing and the only waste might be where piss strikes a surface and droplets escape the bowl - assuming the bowl was terrible and everyone in the nation pissed at the exact angle to cause droplets to achieve escape velocity. It’s an absurd generalisation and also an absurd problem in search of a solution.

It’s a little more than 1/2 a teaspoon, per person. Not exactly hard to believe.
