While I agree that in private offices would be amazing, the amount of space this would require seems huge.
Ideally each room would be as big as a two-person conference room, and even that would feel a little clostraphobic after several hours.
Companies can't fit enough of those in as it stands. How would they do it for every employee? The square footage needs would be huge.
Open office floorplans take ~75 sqft per employee. An office would take ~150.
I vaguely remember IBM cubicle farms from visiting their offices as a child. They took up a ton of space, requiring huge office towers. That means lots of elevator trips and conference room needs.
