Whenever I watch design shows or travel shows, the presenters always seem to make such a big deal about clawfoot tubs. Are they really that special? Is there some kind of history to them? Aren’t they just like any other bathtub?

In addition to being deeper than a modern tub, as mentioned by other commentors, claw foot tubs also tend to be contoured such that it is very comfortable to relax in them. This is opposed to the average modern tub, which is designed around maximum water capacity.
While there are contoured modern tubs, these also tend to have lots of bells a whistles that end up actually making the tub less comfortable to simply sit back and relax in, if you aren’t using the “27 jet whirlpool” functionality, or whatever, at that moment.
