I don't see the lighting problem. Surely no daylight gets in there, but there is always artificial light that can be planned for that area. Certainly, a glass wall is also an alternative, but you have to clean it every time.
Basically, half-walled showers serve exactly the purpose of allowing you to do without glass and being private due to the visual barrier. If someone doesn't want to accept the compromise of artificial light, they can install a normal corner shower. These T-solutions are a kind of fad, but a tiled half-wall makes more sense.
And while many showers today are somehow squeezed into the bathroom, I really think the placement here is quite well done :)
I honestly don't quite understand how the bathtub is installed. It "hangs" somewhere freely in the room, or is it supposed to be a corner bathtub?
Certainly, this tub will get a half-wall or a pedestal.
