I think at the time they were mostly perceived as a downgrade from individual or duo offices that office workers may have expected at the time. Coming from the bullpen offices we have now cubicles are great, coming from having a room with a door you can close and window to outside they are strictly worse.

A lot of this is obviously perceived prestige too, but degrees of (mostly unstated) prestige have always been part of the compensation packages of white collar professionals.

As someone who worked in old fashioned cubicles for over 10 years, I think the prestige was definitely part of it. Outside of executive suite, as I recall it, very few offices had windows. In fact, more cubicles probably had some natural light than most offices did.
