Leaving it as-is after use is the most efficient (least number of seat movements)
They want to normalize the position so its the same for every user. Statistically, people with vaginas sit ~100% of the time, while people with penises sit between ~20% and 100% of the time based on choice or situation. So the logical and most efficient solution is lid up, seat down, after every use.
Even better if the seat has a gap for urine streams, then you will never have to adjust the seat.

That doesn’t make sense if users aren’t all the same.
I can’t think of a toilet user that isn’t able to sit.
Yes not every user is the same, but they generally fit into 2 categories with a few outliers that cannot use the toilet or use the toilet eccentrically, and of those 2 main categories, 1 is weighted higher than the other.
On one end, 100% of users sit, on the other end, approximately 50% of users sit. This assumes that the other users never sit, which is improbable. Realistically, 60-75% of users will sit when using the toilet, depending on their use case.
Therefore, by normalizing the seat so that the majority of the time it doesnt have to be moved, it is most efficient for most situations. However, there will be a point where adjusting the seat based on usage choice is more efficient than leaving the seat normalized.
