Can somebody explain to me why this needs Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?

There'll probably be a little box somewhere in that toilet I assume that controls all of the urinals there that is networked.

It’s a very enterprise thing to do. Ensuring your company gets a contract for long term support and installation.
