There's at least some design rational for the former, latter mostly copy paste efforts of text book floor plans - I remember going to architecture bookstore in Beijing during 90s that sold manuals of low effort floor plan template books for hasty developers whose design process is mostly to flip through the hundreds of... not well considered designs, and tell his drafters layout X this many floors. Or in authors words, too much order. Quite a few of the manuals were imported from HK who did highrise first.
