Re:Employers are rethinking open-plan office design on Friday May 22, 2020 @07:35PM (#23278327)
I don't think you can reduce it to one factor. A lot of people bought into the idea they could create a new Bell Labs for their advertising/CRUD app/whatever by using open offices. And as many others have mentioned it was cheaper. I don't think your argument is wrong but it comes across a bit myopic.
