Will lack of a bathtub turn off renters?

I have a property that I have under contract and one of the apartments was divided from another apartment. The bathroom is very small and awkward it would be a for sure turn-off to me if I was renting the place and I think many others would feel the same. I am thinking about getting rid of the bathtub and leaving just a shower to open up the space a bit, maybe add some storage and make it more visually appealing. Do you think the lack of a bathtub will turn off renters? Most people take a shower just because it's quicker and more convenient but many people like the "luxury" of being able to take a bath on a weekend or if they want to relax on an evening off. If they saw the before and after, they would for sure prefer no bathtub but they of course don't care about before and after. If it matters to them, they will just rent elsewhere. My question is am I limiting my rental pool too much by not having a bathtub?
