The open front toilet seat allows the user a more sanitary experience, as it prevents any leaking on the toilet seat front, and is a little more comfortable.
However, in some parts of the world the open front also seems to be developing a thinner width and ridges where a backside cannot remain comfortable for any extended length of time.
Why anyone would want to spend long periods of time in a public toilet though, I don't know!
In the U.S. section 409.2.2 of the Uniform Plumbing Code reads "All water closet units, except those within dwellings, shall be of the open front type." So in the US, it is actually law!

The front part is open because that is where the dribbles usually end up the most.

It's to stop dribbling on the seat.
