Right exactly. I've read from some other women that they have seen men changing baby's diapers in women's restrooms but ti's almost entirely rare, especially since it's just like you said, most places that receive lots of business have family restrooms anyway so this dude was just pulling things out of his butt to be honest.

I’ve seen baby changing stations in plenty of larger men’s rooms, there’s probably a lot more now. I don’t think most men would feel comfortable going in the women’s room, and wouldmake due with another surface.

Right exactly. Unless it was absolutely a last resort, I'm more than sure these fathers would make due with what they have.

Also, depending on the child's size, a diaper can be changed by laying a kid in your lap/across your thighs at an angle - and since dads are generally bigger than moms, this is often easier for men to do than for women. Moreover, once children can stand, whether on their own by bracing themselves with their hands on something, diapers can be changed when they're on their feet, so no need to lay them down flat on their backs. Babies stand much earlier than many people unfamiliar with babies realize. https://www.verywellfamily.com/when-should-a-baby-stand-2634693
