One of the positives from the covid pandemic is a lot of bathroom doors can be opened with your foot now.
Also the return of paper towels for hand drying.
I hate those stupid air dryers. Most of them barely do any better than just shaking your hands in the air, because they’re simply spraying your clean hands with all of the shit and piss particles that are floating in the air.
Would rather have some cheap paper towels so I can dry my hands, and use the towel to open the door before throwing it in the trash.
Additionally, my understanding is that a lot of the cleaning done by washing your hands is mechanical, and using a paper towel with a slightly rough and absorbent surface scrapes off all the stuff that has been loosened by washing with soap and water.
Seriously though, one of my biggest pet peeves is when they get every other aspect of touch-less design correct, and then fail with the door.

The best design is no door. You walk in and around a corner / wall… Think airport.
Or when the soap dispenser is touchless but not the tap.
Easy. Just lick the door handle 3 ~ 4 times to clean it so that you don’t need to get your hands dirty.
