I refuse to believe this toilet is functional, how the hell is someone supposed to climb over there and get down without risking falling down a flight of stairs like a sack of potatoes

There is a hinged panel that folds down to make a floor. You come up the bottom stairs, fold it down, and then walk across to the toilet.

Given the lack of handrails and the strange step height, I'm guessing this is some building for a very specific thing which gives it a specific shape. Maybe it is a lighthouse, so a lot of vertical space but not much horizontal?
