I agree that's going to be a much bigger factor, and when you look at commercial office space, you'd be shocked at how much space walls or even dividers chew up, and how much it costs in rent. But I was on a team where the devs all wanted an open plan, so they weren't motivated by square footage. They specifically requested that all the dividers be taken out, and the Powers That Be didn't really want to because that wound up costing more as they were getting shafted by their contractors for absurdly simple jobs.
