>It's a massive fire hazard.

You mean we haven't figured out a material that both dampens sound and is fire resistant?

Being as how the former quality is pretty easy, I find this hard to believe.

No we have this, it just isn't as cheap as floor carpeting.

In fact, if you ever DIY some acoustic gobos or panels, rockwool insulation is about the best material you can find at the hardware store. But like another comment mentioned there are other concerns in commercial spaces, like cleaning/dusting.
