Eh. I have the Japanese (well, the reputed Japanese) attitude towards toileting. Everyone does it, my version of it isn't special, nothing to see here, move along. So I don't really care if (most) people see me toileting. (Business colleagues are a special case, IMO. But close friends, partners, etc.? I will conform to their prejudices, but don't care if they can see me when I'm in the WC).
I don't expect anyone to share my devil-may-care attitude, though. I always assume American bathroom sensibilities when sharing a room. But I grew up in Europe, 30+ years ago; the WC etiquette was different for me than it was for most people who grew up here.
The light is a bigger issue for me, interestingly; I don't like waking people up, and I don't like urinating on the floor :-) So that has potential for bad form.
