I think the question is more ‘why do some cultures wash, and others wipe’. I believe the answer is mostly to do with religion, and it’s laws on cleanliness.
Also economy in general. Some places are famous for not affording toilets or plumbing to begin with. A bidet is out of the question.
There are many places where washing is traditional, well before there were bidets. A small jug of water would be used. As I said, I think the more pertinent question is ‘wash or wipe?’.
I mean, you don’t do this OR that. You should do both
