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.

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.
