That only really holds if you somehow didn’t know the comm/bathroom was occupied.
Unless you the type of person who’d ignore the rather strong, social signs that the people in both the comm/bathroom don’t want you to join them when they’re in there. In which case…weird.
You might peek into an open bathroom by mistake but you back away and make a note for the future.
The analogy doesn’t really fit though. Houses and parties are presumed to be invite-only by default. That’s not true for lemmy communities that federate with the general user base. It’s more like being told you can’t buy anything from a store after seeing others being able to do so.
if we go with a mall analogy, you are free to enter most shops, but a shop owner is in his full right to close the entrance and make it a private club, even if the walls are windows, and the door is left open with a sign that says members only.
When someone is using the bathroom I expect them to close the door. If they’re letting it all out in public, yes I might walk in
You’re a cocklooker aren’t you bud?

if I open my house door to let the breeze in, it isn’t an invitation for you to come in.

You’re technically right, but the notion is close enough. Maybe if it were a party at a park? Would that be a better analogy for you?
Well your house is not in a mall though
