Respectfully? Bollocks.
We didn't have any other alternative besides offices until a few decades ago, and we all know how much inertia society has.
It couldn't have started as the alternative because sending a letter to ask your colleague something wouldn't work to begin with.
Also, distrust of employees.

At my first engineering job, we basically sent letters to people at job locations with questions. (OK, the secretary typed a memo up and it went up to the comms room who transmitted a Telex but, yes, basically a letter.)
