It became popular because Startups need a lot more collaboration and it’s thought that open offices lead to more collaboration.
When the startups became huge and successful, they didn’t go back to cubicles because the open office was what they used when they were having business success.
Then all the other companies started copying them because they think it will lead them to be more innovative like the startups.

Serious question, how would we measure that, and is there any empirical evidence for the idea startups "need" more? I imagine a lot of it is an immediate workaround for a system nobody wants to bother building, like a mailing list or design-specs.
