Europe to the rescue. You can make them susceptible to rain but that means you’d have to slide back the lid quite a bit which is uncomfortable and not necessary to put a bag in, there might also be a stop you have to lever away. Some also come with an additional front flap which is usually sufficient. Pedal actuator available as extra.
Switzerland is far from the only country with places using that system, I think it was the Netherlands who pioneered it.
Makes a lot of sense in high-density areas, maybe also in medium-density areas if you build them new, but switching over the existing system isn’t really worth the bother in most places.
