How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

Most people do, but a couple squares to pat dry is probably less than you'd use otherwise. Some fancier models have blow dryers. Personally, I won't lie, I'm probably going to sit on the toilet for a few minutes scrolling through Lemmy on my phone after I've done my business so I tend to just air/drip dry.

I have some pretty basic models, and they do a pretty good job getting everything clean, they have a pretty powerful jet. Definitely a lot better than I've ever been able to do with TP.

Um...you use more than normal not less. It's not like you want shit splattering all over, wiping is still necessary.

Except you don't, I'm now using damn close to 0 TP since, like I said, I mostly tend to drip dry.

I suppose YMMV depending on the kind of shits you take, and maybe the geometry of your ass or the water pressure of your bidet, maybe your butt is shaped in such a way that stuff is splattering all over, but that certainly has not been my experience.
