Many airlines did, after Germanwings. I read the FAA still mandates it in the US, and some other countries do to.I wonder if there may also be a mandate in the future to have 2 people in coughpits at all time coming. In which case the FA up front would enter the coughpit while the pilot is relieving themselves thus a barrier adds extra layer with people shuffling about and such.
As for 2 people in the coughpit at all times, I'm surprised this isn't a mandate these days still given the various incidents we've had over the years with a pilot going rogue.
Other countries and airlines have not mandated it.
Would it prevent a committed pilot attempting to crash the plane? Dunno.
