I doubt it simply because it's way way cheaper to have open floor plans than rooms. Savings on materials, easier compliance with fire safety, way higher density.

> higher density

One day someone will look up and notice that whole unused third dimension in the office.

Worked a place where a third of our office had 20ft ceilings and we were running out of space for people.

I used to joke that Ikea sold queen sized bunk beds (I dunno if they still do, but they did then), and that we could totally get a desk up on top of one of those...

In many places this has already been done; e.g., I work on the 15th floor of a building.
