I’ve seen them sparingly in some nice houses and hotels here in the US, but they were never common. But even as a US native, these are what come to mind when I hear the word “bidet.” Not the hoses that hook up to toilet bowls.
Some (most?) Italians will do a bit of wiping and the move over. I guess you can even stand up and then sit on the bidet without wiping, as you’ll wash the whole area anyway?

That’s what the bowls are for. To catch any drips.
The bowls that look like dog bowls, one having food in it?
I can’t explain it, but all the bidets I’ve seen (mainly continental Europe) have been like this.
They are usually placed a bit closer, so the move from the toilet to the bidet is just a scooch over.

I’ve never actually seen a hose attachment type irl. Neither are popular in the uk.
I think the bidet is to wash feet, but I could be wrong
You’re right: you were wrong

Another use is sometimes you’ll wash your genitals without using the toilet
Often used for quickly washing your pits, bits and feet. Not just as an automated ass wiper.
