I can see the appeal of this if you're living alone or with some housemates who also live that lifestyle, but I can't see it working if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend unless they also work for a company that caters all their meals too. Otherwise you'd never get a chance to have breakfast or dinner together. That would suck.

I wonder, on some deeply dystopian level, if tech companies do this on purpose to keep their a large proportion of their employees single.

I don’t think they are trying to keep the employees single, but they are definitely trying to get them to spend more time in the office.

8hr 9:30-6:30 (including lunch hr, between breakfast and dinner) day in the office isn't so unusual or dystopian.

Dropbox allowed guests. I brought a number of people over my time there.

Would you bring in a spouse and kids every single day though?

I don't have those, so no.
