There's not enough fall to overcome the surface tension. For technical interest only, it is caused by the mutual adhesive attraction of unlike molecules (and inadequate slope of course). The molecular cohesive force of water is what holds water together and the strong cohesive force at the water surface is referred to as surface tension. Surface tension plays no role in adhesion. Open plan bathrooms are designed for aesthetics, prioritising functional aspects is not in every designer's hand book. Another bathroom design flaw is the fitting of long hosed and low fitted hand held shower heads. Sooner or later, many are dropped. Why take the risk? Having the hose fitted higher with a sensible length will prevent the shower head hitting the tiles if dropped. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.
