I'm pretty sure open floor plans are so prevalent because they are so much cheaper. I've been places where they actually switched out all our desks for smaller ones so we could fit more employees. These proposals are at least stabs at getting privacy and productivity in the horrible low cost setting that's taken over.

Then they moved us into rows facing each other getting rid of any extra space we had ( with only monitors keeping us from staring at each other). Then they moved us to a smaller building (right next our apparently very funny finance group). I cherish the hour when everyone else goes to lunch.
