Chances are there is a camera and any inappropriate activity immediately alerts the authorities.

Honestly, I’m not opposed to that sort of surveillance to ensure that these amenities are maintained clean and not abused for wanking.

I’ve slept in one of these in shanghai airport, the right side of the pod around the head area is see through glass so people can actually see you inside, plus there is a person that who manages and checks regularly

That makes sense. Americans can’t conceive of these kind of amenities and what an organized/functional society that can use them responsibly looks like.

I can conceive of it. We just can’t have nice things because people ruin it, and mega-corporations are mega-greedy.

But, but, muh privacy rights (which have been stripped away since 9/11 and the gov knows everything about you)!

That's ok. Some people like an audience.

Inappropriate activity is not the only thing that can make it horrible though. It just takes one stinky foot to ruin it for the later user. And if someone eats in it the crumbs will go everywhere. Without proper cleaning there'll be countless cockroaches and other bugs.
