I would hazard a guess that here in Australia no houses built after 1980 would have shower curtains. Then again I would opine that the same would go for showers over baths. Both just aren’t a thing here in Australia.
My parents built a house in 1972 and its (separate) shower had a curtain until I was around 5 - so 1977 at that time it was changed to a glass door that had 3 panels. 1 fixed and the other 2 slid back.
My first home I ever bought was from 1962 and yep again the separate shower had a shower curtain that I hated every day of the 5yrs I lived with it.
We built in 1999 and both bathrooms had glass doors that opened outwards.
Renovated a house in 2007 and that shower had a sliding glass door.
Built our forever home in 2010 all 4 bathrooms have glass doored showers that open outwards.
In 2013 we built a pool house that has a shower with only a solid 3/4 tiled wall then an opening at the far end. It’s very long so you can actually stand at the opening end and not got wet.
I’m always amazed to see shower curtains and shower / bath combos on our trips to the US - they just are so very rarely seen here, basically only in unrenovated pre-1980 homes.
