Agree, 4-5 employees sharing a room is indeed a stupid idea during the pandemic, not to mention the loss of effectiveness when the company doesn't commit to remote-only.

The idea that may make sense is to provide some sort of WFH allowance, so that people can either enhance their own workplace, or seek individual offices in some co-working space. But I guess all the co-working space providers have committed to open floor plan.
