Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?
We never have that problem in our household. π€·
We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there's never any splash.
Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Flushing a toilet, yes, as far as I'm aware, any toilet, regardless of the design, creates an aerosolized mist containing small particles of fecal matter. So, every time you flush a toilet with the lid open, you are covering your bathroom and everything in it in a microscopic layer of shit... enjoy brushing your teeth later.
Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. π€·

It's less about the splash and more about the microscopic sprays of faecal bacteria. You don't want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.
