Human urine is not concentrated enough to harm plants in the ground,
it might be possible if you flooded a potted plants but then you
might also find it a little aromatic for the patio or the front room
too.

My experience differs from your statement. I used to sleep in a
'sleep-out' at my parents home and, as the toilet was inside and I
am a night-owl I'd often pee on the lawn / garden at night so as not
to disturb others. I'd take care to pee in a different place each
time but still there would sometimes be patches of lawn etc. that
would brown off. There was no smell of urine.

Now I realise that it could just be me and *my* urine that caused it
but once I started to 'spread it around', even (carefully) walking
sideways as I peed it ceased to be a problem and instead those areas
started to grow better than surroundings. That was a couple of
decades ago and sowed the seeds of my current micturition
horticulture practices.

I have since found it much easier to pee in a bucket, dilute it
~10:1 with water in the morning and use a watering can. That way
it's not just the closest area to my bedroom door that gets the
benefit and I don't have to worry about peeing on my legs or triping
over while doing it. Also I no longer live in a rural area and don't
fancy getting arrested for indecent exposure. ;-)

Don't pee on the azaleas! I killed a 1/2 dozen of the missus's.

Heh! Now if you'd diluted that pee with water 10:1 you'd have made them grow
much better than the rest instead of killing them. ;-)
