Probably because Europe consists of over 50 states/territories each with their own rules. Things in Portugal are completely different compared to The Netherlands. In Western Europe you can't go to a public toilet without having to pay but as you said over here in Portugal where I am currently at, I never had a problem so far.
What?! Okay I don’t recall this happening when I was in Portugal so please forgive my surprise, this is just so weird and unreal.
