Yes. I think the driving force behind the open office is to save money.

If a company allows a high % of workers to work from home, it can more easily afford less-efficient layouts. With private walled offices. It's easier to give 20 on site employees an office than 200. If all 200 employees are on site.... get ready for some custom construction to give everyone a private office. $$$!!!
