If you're accurate enough not to pee on the counter then the only thing holding back someone so inclined is the social taboo. It's not like the kitchen sink where stuff regularly goes in there. Does pee harm pipes? Will it make the sink bowl radiate a permanent smell? I just hate wasting water by flushing only pee but also don't like letting pee sit for an excessively long time.
The thing I hate is other people being overly judgemental about it. If you walk in a public bathroom and I'm only wearing socks while I stand on the sink to pee, don't be a pervert. Do your business and leave. I'm doing my business.
