With dropping fertility rates I'm sure there are plenty of people with 1 or even no kids that don't need those rooms. Home office will be entirely domain dependent (I don't see e.g. a couple of dentists needing or wanting a home office).

So the fact that the default house is pretty massive means that all sorts of people are priced out entirely.

Anecdata; my dad is a dentist I've been in 20 or 30 dentists' homes for parties and such, they all have home offices which are glorified library / trophy rooms.
