Every hipster, open-space, max-collaboration co-working space I've been to, has had such a box/room. What am I missing that makes Amazon's case so special?

Because it’s a coffin sized isolation box placed in the middle of a warehouse as a PR stunt for a company known for high pressure work for their low wage employees.
Outside of the concept fitting better into an ironic hell than a real life workplace? Last I heard Amazon warehouse workers barely had enough time to take a piss, how are they supposed to even use this without getting fired the next day?
