Are they trying to get rid of the ice? If so, why do certain restaurants have more ice to get rid of? Why don't I see this in sushi restaurants, then? Or is there some other reason? Nothing comes to mind, and I have been curious for years. Anyway, if you know, I'd love to hear. Heck, even if you don't know but have a good (or humorous) explanation, that would be great, too.

I've seen it mostly in bars, not restaurants.
It seems to stop back-splashing pretty well. That's the only practical purpose I can think of.
Mostly, I think it is just for fun. So you can watch the ice melt with the hot stream. Like writing your name in the snow, guys get a juvenile thrill out of accomplishing something with their urine. I know I do.
It can't be to dispose of ice. There's easier ways to do that than to carry it into the boys' room.

I never knew why they did that, but I've noticed it at some bars. Personally, I just find it amusing to melt the ice with my pee.

i think it helps the pee from splashing back at you and ofcourse it's fun to try and make the ice melt

Gonna agree that it is supposed to reduce the smell.
