why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?

Remodeled the house including bathrooms, went for japanese style bidet (i.e. included in the toilet). Would not want to live without it.
Thank you for addressing my concerns, adjustable pressure would be a key thing. After a few other replies as well, I have actually ordered one to give it a try.
I have a bidet add-on for my regular toilet (North American style), and I'm wondering what the cost Delta is for the Japanese style toilet was. My SO and I are planning on adding a bathroom to the house and we're definitely getting a bidet, it's just a matter of what we get, and I've been thinking to get one built into the toilet at least. But I'm not sure if it will explode our budget.
What was your experience?
The one we got was really expensive, but it was the only brand available in Germany that actually has those things in the market for 10+ years (so it's a well tested product). It's one of the premium brands for bathroom "furniture" anyway, and the bidet ones are their top of the line bowls, so I guess in the end we're not just paying premium for the bidet. Including installation and all the other parts, I think it was something like 3 or 3.5k EUR. I don't really have any comparison (the cheaper brand would be around 1k less), but the thing is well thought through, has tons of options, easy to clean, easy maintenance, and has some really long warranty. I still feel I splurged on it, but in the grand scheme of things when remodeling a house (roughly 150k in total), I did not really register. Don't know if that helps in any way...
Thanks! It definitely set some expectation for me. At least I know an approximate ballpark for a high end one.
I hope you continue to enjoy it for a very long time.
